After reading over these pages over the past couple, I have come to the conclusion that this round of the Big Win has been a major headache for a lot of people!
I had initially planned to do the Big Win... but with the current promotion of being able to buy points and get a 100% bonus, it is a no brainer for me... I am just going to buy the points. I will end up with 16K more points than I would have achieved with the Big Win... and for a lot less money and headache in the long run.
