Points discount is going on till December 31st. As far as I read, going with shopaway and expect to activate account, may take time. (not sure on this yet)

Edit -- just found this on website "Upon successful completion of your purchase with the merchant, your Points will appear in the My Purchases section as ‘Pending’ within 5 working days. If you don’t see the ‘Pending’ transaction, please contact us within 90 days. Points will be credited to your Account once purchase is approved by respective merchant and the status will be changed to ‘Approved’.This takes up to 45 days (or 90 to 120 days from the last day of your stay on hotel & travel bookings or policy, contract or subscription start date) but in some cases it can take longer and is subject to the Retailer's Terms & Conditions."
