+1.
FWIW, if it had been a good deal, FTers would have been all over it.

Why don't you look into the useful
Webflyer Mileage Converter first?
As far as Points.com goes, there are a handful of threads about them. Some examples:

It's also costly to use Points.com to consolidate miles. See
jsammerman's demo calculation for details. If you are looking for GCs from Points.com, I don't know that's a good use for one's miles since I hardly redeem miles for GCs.
