When I attempted to transfer some BUX to AA on 8/26 and was unsuccessful, I went ahead and emailed Hotspex via my account. I explained that they should still honor it given that the published end date was 8/28. Here is the response I got a response:
AAerSTL,
Unfortunately Points.com has ended our partnership 2 days earlier then the date that was agreed on. That means that you cannot exchange your BUX on Points.com. For this inconvenience, I can credit your account for 250BUX. We are currently looking to replace Points.com with a similar and better company. We will be sending an email within a few weeks to update our panel members about our new changes.
Best Regards,
XXXXXXXXX
Hotspex
