Payment with Cash

Payment Required $331.80 85,000
Total $331.80 85,000
Balance Due $331.80 85,000

It seems like the points value is very poor. When I try to confirm though, it requires me to use at least 10k points. So the best deal I could get is 10,000 points+ $311.25. That would give me less than $20 for the 10k points :-( Is there a way to get it without the points? I read there is a $35 cancellation charge. Anything else I need to pay attention to?

Thanks,
