Recieved an offer from AMEX last year stating "And the good news is, you currently have 413,234 points, giving you the equivalent of $2644.70 to redeem for whatever reward you have in mind".
As tempting as that offer was, I decided to book 2 Virgin Atlantic Sydney to London Rtn Upper class tickets (Virgin web price $32,500.00) for 360,000 points leaving with 60,000 app. points to play with.
I feel slightly insulted that they are undervaluing my hard earned points by so much, and wonder what they are hoping to achieve.
It's like the con where companies try to buy shares off old people for less that they are worth.
