Even the “Deal of the Week” isn’t that great. This week they have a Canon Powershot A470 for 10,400 points, rather than the usual 19,500. Since you can buy an A470 on the web for about $100, this makes each TYP worth about a penny. Much better than the 19,500 TYP price, but not exceptional.
I’ll stick to redeeming for branded gift cards, where you can get a $100 card to places such as Chili’s, Macy’s, Staples, etc. for 10,000 points.
