Just two weeks ago ago, some people received targeted offers for reduced P&C redemptions. Those fortunate enough to receive the offer were able to "purchase" points at an even lower rate than the one you mentioned.
Yes. I saw the posts about $600/120,000points (0.5¢/point) targeted promotion. Just combed through my emails to see if I got one but nothing. I would have been content with 0.5¢/point. For those specific promotion where you have to stay at a specific place at a specific time for a specific length to get any benefit will not work for my travel style. I will have to hoard points for cheap and use them when I need them as I wandering around the Country/World.
