Well, if Pete is headed out I'll drop by with a little sanctimony. Golpoints has to be the best case yet of the invasion of the greedbags into FT. On a much smaller scale check out the threads on the Automall where it gave 62000 Hilton points instead of 500. There are folks over there claiming it's their divine right to these points.

In the case of Goldpoints, those who ordered before changes were made are of course entitled your points even if you were unfair to the companies involved if you ordered millions of points worth. But the general attitude is of small, impatient minds who are self deluded into thinking they are 'important customers' You're gougers that true capitalists have to cover with real customers who end up paying for you, just like shoplifters (not in the legal sense, the moral sense)
