I fly PER>BNE return (a lot) and request classic upgrades (a lot) with a pretty good strike rate on Red-e Deal fares.... however just noticed that on my latest booked flight the points required for the redemption has gone from 13,100 each leg to 32,600 each leg. Did I miss something??

The lower rate of 13100 is for flexible economy to business.

The 32600 is for discount economy to business.

It seems your current ticket is in a lower booking class/fare than the previous ones.

Ah, did not realise that difference—thankyou!
