dhacker: Your points taken out are because Valuemags is revoking points for the discount even before you got the points for the rest. I assume you used a 15% discount code.

15% of $765 = $114.75
$114.75 * 150 points per dollar = 17212

Which is the points taken away. So in other words Valuemags is taking away points for the discount (that's fine) but they're taking it away without the triple bonus (that would actually be fine too) but they haven't even posted the points to begin with yet (that sucks).

Again, I think the blame lies sorely on valuemags shoulder. It was a good deal, but I'm really beginning to think it wasn't worth the hassle.
