will miss the points if they do go away. no more buying $50 cards for $35...
but with real CC/Paypal transactions, you're less likely to have impulse purchases. Yes, it's easy to convert points to money in your head but it doesn't hit you the same as pulling out your CC. There have been many times I went all the way to the billing page of a purchase order, only to realize I didn't need it and change my mind. But with MS Points, there have been times where I bought it and then thought, man, I just spend $17.50 on a song pack for Dance Central...
