Our interpretation: Points, not cash. You turn them into gift cards or prepaid rewards, so treat the value as restricted and only count it if you'd shop at that store anyway.

Our interpretation: Withdrawable to a bank from $1.01, but a bank withdrawal below $10 loses $1 to a fee. At $10 or more, that fee is waived. Gift cards have separate brand minimums and restricted value.
