In other words, do you only get one chance to apply points to a given purchase even if you don't cover the whole thing with points, or can you "pay yourself back" MORE THAN ONCE for portions of the same purchase?
VERY IMPORTANT: you can only apply PYB funds ONCE for a purchase. For example, if you only have 10,000 points, and want to offset your $550 annual fee, you will only get $100 back and lose the oportunity for the rest of the $550. So be very careful about doing partial PYBs. In fact, do not do partial PYBs unless you are about to lose the option due to expiration.
