I are a Teacher

Our children are screwed. I just priced out a flight hotel package for someone who said she was a teacher going to a teachers convention. She didn't have the proper authorizations to be able to use the reward points on her father's credit card so as a courtesy I gave her a ball park ration of points to dollars.

What I said was " If the flight and hotel for instance costs $300, it would take between 35,000 and 45,000 points to cover it."

She said "but the trip is $575.00. Didn't you just say it cost $575.? How will I know how much the points will cover? He has 100,000 points"

So I said. " I can't give you an exact figure because you are not authorized to use the points. But if the trip costs 300 dollars for instance, it would take between 35 thousand 45 thousand points to cover the cost."

She was clearly confused and again said "but you said the trip cost $575.00. How can I tell how much the points will cover?"

Like I said, our kids are screwed....
