Detailed Ultimate Rewards Mall changes

This morning I posted some of the changes I saw in the Ultimate Rewards Mall.  In the comments of that post reader HikerT posted a very helpful complete list of changes.  Unfortunately, WordPress cut off his comment after a few rows.  Here it is in it’s entirety:

Wish it was just an April Fools.  Here is what I’m seeing as far as changes.  I will try to update my web page summary later.  Also, New Ink seems to have reverted to Old Ink (no unique merchants now).
