I agree that potentially getting back 100k points for $20 sound almost like a deal too good to be true!

This offer is for those who decide to become Ambassador and then: YES it makes sense! If you are not Ambassador and will not become one, it is kinda useless to respond......

The T&Cs suggest that in principle, you could get 200,000 points back assuming that your renewal doesn't coincide with the calendar year. You're entitled to the 10% off for twelve months, but the limit is stated as 100,000 points pere calendar year. This is according to the ** footnote in the OP.
