Not to mention the fact that you can stack other discounts on top of purchases covered with Arrival points, take advantage of deep discounts, and/or go exactly where and when you want, rather than being stuck in a couple of the same old programs.
The 50K offer is clearly not for everyone, but if you plan to MS on the card anyway, why not take the extra points?
