Another issue is currency. Since points are per dollar spent, they have to figure out how to award them in other currencies. I guess they figured it out for Euros already (Ireland), but that won't help for UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, etc.

No such issue on awards, as the points needed are flat.
