mrmarket,
The points program has evolved from its humble beginnings. As you noted there have been some changes. We are trying to get the program solidified so there are not any material changes down the road.

This rule is consistent with the company limiting its exposure while balancing that with a program that's fun and rewarding.

Several have speculated that SBR will inflate or devalue the points to compensate for freeloaders. I can assure all Pros and everyone else that is not the plan. We announced last year that there would only be two yearly price increases. However, we did not raise prices during the semi annual window this year and expect only a modest increase at the start of next year. We are not going to devalue the points, period. Instead we are closing loop holes, attacking fraud and limiting our exposure to non Pros.

Thanks for the post.
