Looks interesting. Any idea of how many points it will cost?

It is a "make an offer" not a guaranteed upgrade.

"This is a shockingly bad deal. You’re using points either wholly or partially in lieu of cash, which means you’re basically buying back the cash cost of an upgrade with points. Redeeming American Express points in this way will get you either one cent per point in value or just half a cent per point depending on the card. Platinum cards get just half a cent per point. (Update: Platinum credit cards get half a cent per point, premium Platinum charge cards get a penny.)"
