InterContinental Hotels: Priority Club & Inter-Continental Ambassador - Point redemption sale

Got an email announcing a point-redemption sale on merchandise and gift cards. Haven't dug through enough to see whether anything is actually a great deal or not...

many Merchandise articles and gift cards are discounted- example:

15% Off
Sony Cordless Headphones
35,000 pts. 29,750 pts.

15% Off
Unisex Towelling Robe White
27,000 pts. 22,950 pts.

There's also a 20% sale on purchasing points, e.g. buy 26,000 points get 5,200 bonus points free. This is still inferior to buying points at 0.6 cents for points and cash redemption, but might be good for anyone trying to qualify for platinum before end of year since points and cash don't count toward qualification.

Runs every year at this time.

I believe they must have made a mistake calculating the standard redemption rates: 15000 points for a 25€ gift card? 5000-8000 points would be more reasonsble... even 20% off doesn't make it a deal :D

HTB.

The offer is not too bad, if you have the PC Visa Select, that gives you a 10% rebate on point redemption, with the visa it is actually a 25% discount, 15% + 10%. I am hoping they mail out the special discount promo they did at the end of last year that was a much higher discount percent IIRC.
