Criminal Use of Membership Rewards
« on: January 02, 2014, 01:01:27 PM »
I was listening to the Opie and Anthonyshow from Thursday 2 weeks ago and they were talking briefly about using MRs, and discussing how everything needs crazy points. Anthony said he had ~900K points and used it to get himself a Canon 5d MarkIII.  I found myself grimacing in pain when I heard that.
Just because he has money to live nicely is no excuse to spend thousands extra on first class flights.

Just thought i'd share my horror.

Wow, that's terrible.

He could have just bought it on the card and use the points to pay the bill -- and sill be left with 5K!

@167.66 points per $$ and 5d @ 3,399 @ Canon website it would cost him 567K to pay it and still be left with 150k+ points.

Very disturbing

And I think that the majority of people use points this way.

My Shvigger was all happy with the dish-washer she got "for free!!"

And I needed to go like this: :-X, becasue if I would go like this: ::), I would get this: >:( from someone else.
