An offer that gives us more in points than the object we've bought is worth is clearly not a long-term proposition for the company making the offer. Will it be pulled sooner because we milk it? Or has it been predetermined what the expiry date will be? In many cases, we can never know whether we (as individuals, or a particular group such as FT) really matter in this.
