Again I think it's only worth it if you're topping up towards a major stay which would cost serious money, which I have done at least twice in the last few years (for stays in Hong Kong and New York). The other thing is if you have a buy points task for the current Accelerate promotion (which I don't).

I heard rumors of additional IC. Nice to know there is a choice.

100% bonus can be very valuable for NYC and Tokyo rooms.

I got a targeted email with the 100% bonus this week, too. There's a kink in the curve of cost/points; above this kink it's 0.575cpp. At that rate I'm considering it. I'm hesitant because I have about 230k points presently and no firm travel plans to any place where the redemption value would be well over 0.575cpp.
