Account w/ Forward:
42,285 Points or $422.85

Account w/ Prestige:
31,793 Points or $422.85

I've tried:
Account w/ only banking (Blue):
13,603 points or $102.02

Account w/ Prestige:
7,670 points or $102.02

I've also tried on a Citigold account w/o any credit card attached and see that same 13,603 points or $102.02. One would think that Citigold should get preferred pricing, but it doesn't...
