But Covid-19 forced them to use their Airmiles Frequent Flyer Loyalty programs as collateral to raise funds from the U.S. Government through the CARES Act or raise capital in equity and debt capital markets. But now that all these liabilities sit on their balance sheets - $27.5bn for the 5 Most Valuable Programs (Delta, United, American, Southwest, JetBlue) - airlines are looking to devalue the airmiles to improve their financials. That will force customers to use more airmiles to book reward flights. Southwest already did that in April 2021 by asking customers to spend 6% more points to book reward flights. Bottom line = don't hoard your airmiles and rewards. Book travel soon and book it with your airmiles before their are devalued (or worse, expire).
