It's $10 for 2000 points. And buy the $100 cards that only have the $5 fee for a slightly improved profit margin.I've always found the $7 activation fee makes these unattractive; even if you use the 2,000 points to get $20 off your shopping, you're only $3 in front. OTOH, 2,000 points for $7 spend works out to 143 VA points per $. Plus, I need to spend $4,000 on my new Amex card so I may just bite on this occasion and use them to pay my rates.
Although the profit margin is small, I find they always sell out.
