This is what's called WINNING.

Thankfully I got the complaint in quick enough to be resolved and the points manually added, and then they went ahead and did the auto adjust as well on top. Sometimes it's hard work being this good, it really is. Now I just have to find something to redeem some of them on because holding over 2 million rewards points in one place is probably not the best idea.
What it means of course is that everyone who thought they were doing the smart thing by anticipating the shafting they were going to get from MyCard on 1 Oct and moved all their reward points out to 'protect' them from the inevitable loss, has actually shafted themselves massively by removing the points from the very scheme that was going to reward you for keeping them there. That's an own goal of epic proportions.
I can't help but think this was possibly planned for by MyCard in order to sow the necessary distrust into their card holders by deliberately keeping them in the dark and not telling them what was going to happen to their points on 1 Oct. The not knowing would panic the herd and cause them to redeem or transfer their points before 1 Oct thereby removing the points from the very system upon which the calculation would work out how much compensation was due in terms of pro-rata points to maintain overall value. If this was a plan based around known human psychological behaviour to be averse to loss at all costs, then it was very cleverly executed and I have no doubt worked extremely well, judging by the people in other forums who are now crowing how they 'beat the system' by transferring their points out before the change.
What they've actually done of course is short change themselves massively and let MyCard off the hook of giving them free points by removing their balances to another holding system be it Velocity or Krisflyer or FlyBuys that
isn't going to give them any bonus points at all. Face meet palm!
