Then when i went into payment options it showed 2 choices:
Points + Cash = 124300 points + $0 cash
Cash = $1653
Now I changed points down to only 1000 and the cash column went up to $1233. However, cash only row remained at $1653.
Bottomline, as long as some points are being used you get a 24% discounted price.
Hmm, maybe you need 1000 points minimum? I recently redeemed all my points for cash, so only have a few hundred left...maybe I don't have enough points.
