It's back! Limited Time Offer!
Your points are worth 10%-50% more

Chase Sapphire Preferred is 25% more.
Chase Freedom Unlimited is 10% more.

For example:
The $1199 iPhone Prom Max is 79,900 points (plus tax if applicable) if you have the Reserve (so retail * 66.7 points). Effectively 1/3 off at a penny per point.
If you have a card with a $99 ish annual fee, I suspect you get 25% extra (so retail * 80 points). Effectively 20% off at a penny per point.
If you have a no-annual-fee card, you likely get 10% extra (so retail * 91 points). About 9% off at a penny per point.

Also worth noting you get extended warranty and purchase protection when you pay with points (you don't when you pay with gift cards).

One of the few things printers are still good for -- printouts of eventual gifts :o
does the phone even work??
Emirates first class is 168k points+ $1072 to Asia where I travel. I have used it once just for experience on a A 380. I get better value on Business Class On Virgin to Asia which needs 70k points. I transfer to Virgin when there is a 30% bonus on transfer. So I pay 56k point for Business Class on A350 or A330 Neo from US to Asia.
The ticket on cash costs around 6k in cash

Hilariously specific example and on point, no one would pay these inflated business class fares, yet they keep using them for conversion ratio purposes. Like the inflated msrp on most Amazon slickdeals!!!!
Last time in May when this deal rolled around, I ordered a Magic Keyboard + Magic Trackpad, and both came within 8-9 days.

I don't think there are so many haters. I think it's the same 2 or 3 showboats that REALLY want you to know how special they are for being on a first class international flight. So badly that they are hanging around a thread for a deal which they want absolutely nothing to do with.

btw, for me and many others, Apple products are easily worth much more than what I pay for them. (Economics 101: Having a single clearing price, where supply and demand meet, always means that most people get more value out of a product than its cost. That is always true, unless you can price discriminate, and charge different customers different prices, as airlines do.)
