Seems targeted: my offer is for a 25% bonus.
For reference I have never purchased PC points outright.

I got the 100% offer and bought some to top off my acct. About than 0.00675 each. Gets cheaper if you buy larger amounts.

for cash + points method, can generate 10,000 pts for $70 = 0.007 each. Sale isn't bad...might buy some if they ever email me :P
EDIT: used the old link provided on a blog and it took me to the same offer...

25% here as Plat.
Would buy at 100%, nothing under that. Last time they raised the % of most of us at FT, probably they do the same again if we complain enough here

I was offered 75%. Not really interested, although I may take a look later since I have an upcoming trip.

75% bonus here. Not worth it. Barely worth it at 100% bonus.

26K-60K purchase
The best deal is:
26,000 - 60,000 points for $11.50 per 1,000 points
x 100% bonus is 5.75 cents....am thinking that's a good deal.
Correct me if my math is off.

50% for me & I'm platinum. Still poor value at this 50% promo level so I won't be buying any ....... Yet again
