I really hate writing this but I think getting WDW tickets with AM will be a thing of the past after the current promotion.
Ya, I didn't want to say that either lol. I agree that's likely, I don't think their business models are matching too well, Airmiles would prefer to stock one or two types that cover everyone, Disney prefers to lock you into the day you want to go and charge accordingly.
Not too many years ago, Disney airmiles tickets were an excellent deal, I remember the return being around 15 cents on an airmile. When Airmiles introduced cash miles, I thought why would anyone ever use cash miles, such a low return (sidenote: I have also been leary of why 95 airmiles = $10 cash, I can quickly see that becoming 100 airmiles = $10 cash). Well as we know the last couple of years they have been set on par with cash miles. So now it's really only a savings vehicle rather than a good deal.
I would switch to 100% cash if I could dedicate myself to cashing in points and buying gift cards each week with the savings. At this point I see it as another thing to keep track of, however if they don't offer them any longer, I'll be joining the group that has switched to cash.
