You gotta be kidding!!! Let's say you purchase 10000 points for $250, what can you get? You are lucky to get a $100 gift card at only a few places. Don't buy points, just save up for another month or so, to get what you want, otherwise you are throwing money away. Let the buyer beware. 432100 2009-01-26T11:43:34-08:00 Randy Has anyone noticed that the points required for some of the Thank You rewards bounces around like the stock market? Literally, you can check on a given item, then log off and check again a few minutes later, and the points required may be up or down by several thousand. I am following a couple of HDTVs and I noticed than the one I wanted went down to 135,300. I will still a little short, so I bought 2000 points for %40. Then I went back to redeem (minutes later) and the points needed went up to 140,500! I called Thank You Network, and they acknowledged that this does happen, but of course they "can''t do anything about it". But the rep did match the 2000 points I bought, and gave me 2000 more for free, so that is better than nothing. But it still amazes me that you have to watch these things like the stock market. It just seems fraudulent to me that you can buy points, and then ten minutes later not have enough! 432070 2008-09-25T14:40:26-07:00 Jim I have to laugh at this statement: "The points purchase option offers an exceptionally awesome dollar to points ratio. With most of the Citi Thank You credit cards, you get at most - 3 points for each $1 spent. With the purchase option you get 40 points per $1 spent." That's true - if you don't count the dollar of purchasing power lost. In the former case, I get a dollar's worth of product/service, PLUS 3 points; in the latter, I get 40 points, and nothing else. Another way at looking at it: when directly purchasing points, you're paying 2.5 cents each for them. When redeeming, the best return is 1 cent/point (for $100 gift cards for 10,000 points) - and most redemption options return even less. So they're charging you at least 2.5 times as much as they can be redeemed for. Now, it may still be worth it to purchase points if you don't quite have enough for a specific reward that you need right now. But describing this as offering "an exceptionally awesome dollar to points ratio" is to overlook how expensive this option really is. 432090 2008-06-29T08:08:03-07:00 florl thanks for those prmo code. it worked for me too. 432060 2008-06-14T21:55:31-07:00 Frank AWESOME THESE PROMOTION WORKED IT WAS INSTANLY ADDED TO MY THANK YOU POINTS RIGHT AWAY... - FRANK 432080 2008-06-05T19:15:20-07:00 Tom I've been a fan of the ThankYou network for quite some time now.
