That's my question - how much spending is worth 4k points. If they sell them for ~$50, they can't be worth more than $25 redeemed for something I might get to. What sort of $/point redemption value can you get with small amount of points/inflexible travel schedule?

I missed the free miles, but I'll check out the dining. Maybe I'll get lucky and someplace I eat anyway is on the list.
