I had the most frustating time ever trying to catch Max. I had just checked the flowers section, and then 1 minute later I get the alert that he was worth 1,000 points, so I try to get there as soon as I can, and the whole $% <IMG SRC="http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif">@##$ thing is slow beyond belief.
Looks like half the civilized world is looking for this guy, and everybody and their mother was trying to get the 1,000 points.
Only 500 points so far

Calm down, everyone, it seems it was a false alarm today. The misleading little banner on Max says, "Earn up to 1000 points shopping at Office Depot". That has to do with the page you'll be taken to after you click on Max, not the number of points you'll get. You won't know that until you click on Max and get the congratulations popup.
