I usually get gift cards for redeeming points from my insurance company but they have decided to remove the gift card option at the end of 2010 so I had to cash in a small number of points before I lost them.
I earn points from my insurance company by doing things such as updating and tracking my weight or any exercise that I do that falls under their pre-listed categories. This was a very nice reward and while I was not earning a lot from it I enjoyed getting gift cards for something that I would be doing anyway.
Now they have removed the gift card option and you can only get merchandise, ranging from yoga mats to towels I am not so interested in updating on a weekly basis. I will go in sporadically and update those figures but I am not very happy with the decision to remove the cards.
That’s unfortunate to hear, the only good thing is that you cashed out the points before you lost the ones you had 🙁
