How many days do you need? This takes my cost per point down to 1.75 cents (only HST applied) so definitely the best offer I can remember in recent times...even better for those with US CC/addresses.

Is it usually worth it to purchase points even with bonuses such as this one?

General consensus is that one should generally buy points only if you've got a specific trip and flights targeted, with the necessary space available - as opposed to speculatively buying hundreds of thousands of point "just in case".

yes, if you can use them right away on partner airlines.
If you can get a 100,000 point long haul business class ticket for <$2000, its usually a good deal

Here's the link to the offer:
https://buy.points.com/marketing/aer...ex.html#/en-CA

110% is close to all time high. There was once a 115% bonus. 110% is great but you'd need to spend $2800 + tax to get the bonus that high.

Did this in the previous promotion period with specific Etihad flights to book. No sooner had the points credited than all Etihad award flights in J and F disappeared.

Hoping same won’t happen with Emirates since I’ll be buying points for that instead now!

Hyperinflation is coming.

Did a few searches, reward tickets for premium cabins on partner airlines seems to have all disappeared. I hope this is temporary.

It would be silly not to think that a devaluation is imminent after minting currency with this and massive credit card sign up bonuses.
The biggest devaluation would be making partner awards dynamic (like Delta).
