Thanks for posting this. I got that email this morning, read it but didn't see anything that seemed like it affected me so I promptly dismissed it. I like how they conveniently make you click on the T&C's to see that their point structure is getting an overhaul. That's pretty shady.

I consider the bby reward points as icing on the cake when sync offers come twice a year. from last year's VGC haul,I got a 125 samsung microSD card (msrp 58.99 ad matched to amz 39.xx) and portable cellphone battery (22.99 no ad match since their price was lower) and OOP was 2.17 after scanning the rewards certificate. DH grinned like a possum when he saw the totals 
I don't buy anything extra aside from VGCs on several am3x CCs to earn the rewards. I just bank them and when I have accumulated enough, I tell DH I'd buy his "toy" up to a certain amount and that makes him really happy. a happy DH makes me twice happier especially if I don't pay much for it ; )
those who aren't aware, bby will ad match amazon's price (like tgt does) as long as it's not sold by FBA.
