My bad, I think you're right.

I think all the cheap prices on Qatar deals to/from SE Asia had that one in my mind.

Too bad then. I've never tried, but I guess that makes sense. Must be the bare-bones saver rate to be released to partners... Luckily I have no desire to fly on Delta internationally if I can help it, unless I got their A330 or A350 at a great rate. Or was flying direct to JNB...

My apologies for any inconvenience, but as the message says when you try and access the purchase portal, "Sorry: This site is temporarily unavailable while we perform routine maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience. We should be available inside of a couple of hours. Please try us again."

So, Points.com is doing some maintenance on their site at the moment; however, it does seem that it is taking a bit longer than they first anticipated. Nevertheless, the 35% off promotion expires on March 16, 2018 (US Eastern time) and we are certain the site will be back before too much longer. Our best advice is to keep checking whenever you have the time to do so.

Best regards,

Look like the link that I initially posted no longer valid. I had edit my post and also added a Wiki with the updated link that is working now.

Hmmm. I still get the same message from Points.com:

i just try the link in the Wiki jut now and it did work, maybe something save on my laptop that make it to work only on my laptop??

guess you can always just login to spg.com and go thru its menu to click the link to purchase the points, it will then redirect you to the points.com link.

To clarify- the link does work to take you to the SPG site. It is when you click on "Buy Starpoints Now" that you get the Points.com message. I have tried 2 browsers on my desktop and from my phone with the same result.

Yup, same here. SPG page works, but the Points.com page is down. FRUSTRATING, bc I have a points booking I want to make and need to buy some points to have enough. If I lose the booking, I will be very unhappy.

I tried logging into my SPG account and then selecting the link for points purchase.

No luck, I’m afraid.
