(I'm confused because there is both a regular redemption and an eCard. The page with the eCard selections shows "You will receive your eTravelCard within three hours, but please allow up to one business day," but when I put one in my shopping cart the next page shows "Arrives within 7 business days.")
The gift cards are usually less than $.01 pp value. If you use your card to pay for the stay, you can redeem the points at 1:.01 against the charge for a credit. It may work out better that way...
