Anyone else experiencing this? Or am I making some rookie mistake (e.g. I don't have enough points for the redemption I'm selecting - is this normal for the option to disappear without offering to sell me the points or simply a message telling me I don't have enough points?)?
Yes, this is common.
See, for example, these threads:
