There is also the option (at checkout for the above item) to choose to pay with points+cash in addition to paying with 100% cash. The ratio seems to be USD 0.086 per EB point, three times better than the rate for buying extra points outright (i.e. 25 EUR per 1,000). In other words, using points+cash and choosing all cash would cost USD 130 for 1,000 basic points, whereas buying the 15,000 extra points outright and then converting them would cost 375 EUR or USD 425.
