Sorry, I have received a few PM's but as your msg alludes to, it looks like I can't reply to them. I haven't posted for a year and a half, and I guess the policies have changed since then. I guess this teaches me to stay a bit more active...
FYI, the points are still available.
I am happy (and surprised) to hear MS is open today. I'll be traveling over the next few hours, but I'll check back later in the day to see if anyone could find availability. I suspect that'll be the biggest issue for everyone.
