Additionally, there is a buy-points mystery promo that will vary based on your account. In our tests, we found a 100% bonus when purchasing 100,000 points, which would result in getting 200,000 points for about $2,557, or 1.27 cents per point. This is a pretty great price if you have a specific use for those points in mind.
