Too bad they increased the # of points for a $25 Visa egift card. It seemed too good to be true. A relative was going to get one too, but wanted to wait to see what happened with my order and now it's too late. Hopefully the $50 egift card will remain at 5000 points, but got to save up for awhile to reach that level.
Good to know. I redeemed for a $50 ecard today, and got the same "currently unavailable" error message reported by you and paynea, but my account statement shows the deduction of 5,000 points for a redemption of a "Visa $50 reward card," so, based on that and your experience, I'm not especially worried. I think this deal must be a special offer limited either by time or by number of redemptions or both. If I had enough points to redeem for another $50, I'd do it right away, but I'm not quite there yet; by the time I have enough points for the second $50 ecard, the deal will probably be gone.
