Sound all right? Guess we should wait for GS terms before assigning values, and values depend on tier levels, but what do you think at this point about this plan? Too soon to say? (I'd still have enough eRewards for DM deposit hit.)

Sounds all right, BUT it's not only 22 $, it's also the (opportunity) costs for the 100 $ e Rewards credits @:-)
