I'm debating if I should have her do the offer. She doesn't have any other cards in the Thank You point ecosystem so easiest. If I'm reading these blogs correctly, redemption is 0.5 cents per dollar on the non AF cards or .8 cents per point on Amazon. I guess even at Amazon rate, this would be at least 8.8% back.

I know this seems like a waste to those collecting these points. I know I've told people cashing UR points for cash back is a waste.

I guess I'm afraid the points will just sit there if I don't redeem (so worthless compared.to just using a 2% card), or I'd have to have her sign up for the Premier card and learn a whole new points system.
