Maybe they'll give you a courtesy waive or two. Or you can send it as a "reader mistake story" to one of the bloggers for a chance to win a gift card haha.
I get that we're all numbers, I think the main thing is the policy itself bothers me. If you want to withold the points pending the bill and late fee being paid that's fine, but charging another fee on top of that just feels petty and like they're trying to take advantage of their customers.
