No Sat stays or x days in adv that it must be purchased.

Or if the tkt is $410 its yours , from what Ive been told I cant get a $410 tkt by using 20k in pts and paying $10

No real loss as 15k was a bonus and 20k were a Gift from the Mint
Actually even that option with $ cap, has gone away March 1, 2009.

It is a strict 1cent per 1 TYP value redemption - and it is working as if you are using the cash, other than the extra 800 TYP cost for the booking fee.
