I'll be curious to see if anyone has any success with this after the conversion (rolling back the conversion and getting something else instead).

Personally, I only had 10 and they were free (promotional, not earned) and while 2500 LP is not much, it's free LP for something I didn't earn and no longer need to use so I'm pretty happy. If not for this change I may have been stuck buying a few more for some companion upgrades on upcoming trips.
