Those are what they say. If you've bought stuff here and never knew about it, you probably have enough points to go shopping. Basically, points convert to gc value at a penny per point. When you have over 500 points, you can buy a gc with points. If you want to spend an odd amount on one order, you can ask Jenn to combine your smaller ones. They do have a 30-day timed expiration date. I'm not sure about how the store makes change on the GC. I usually spend the whole amount at once.
