Our Verdict

If you go through Topcashback then you can get a further 2.5% back. These are sold through Points.com so won’t qualify for any sort of travel credits/category bonuses are unfortunately. Earlier this year you could buy them with a 60% discount. I almost never think buying points is a good idea, but if you have a specific redemption in mind it might make sense.
