We all like to take advantage of new offers as they become available, and we all know that eventually these offers will disappear. Greenpoints has been offering "double points for a limited time". That's the special offer. They're up front on it being an introductory offer, and when it ends we'll be disappointed but will have no anger since they're clear about their intentions.

Doubling the cost of merchandise with no warning whatsoever is another matter altogether. I bought high ticket items expecting to redeem the points I received for the advertised price. There was never any indication from Greenpoints that prices would double instantly. Had there been, I would have redeemed my points immediately upon receipt. I don't understand why they have been clear about receiving points and so underhanded about redeeming points. Unless it was in the business plan...

I notice that Greenpoints hasn't doubled the cost of all its prizes, just the mileage certificates.

So far I haven't heard anything from either Greenpoints or BUY.COM. If/when I do I'll post it here...Paul
