Hey everybody,

   Has anyone redeemed "Panini Rewards" points for cards?  They say the points don't expire, so, would it be worthwhile to wait for a certain time?  That is, would there be "fresh" stock added based on the sports currently in season?  A quick look at the list of low-end (under 500) options showed mostly hockey, basketball & football - with only one racing card & no baseball.

   Looks like autographs get snatched up quick, as most of the offerings were MEM cards - though there were plenty of multi-piece MEMs.

   Any thoughts / suggestions?  Thanks,

Kurt

I have.   I don't generally open packs very often, so I saw no benefit in waiting on the off-chance that I would open a pack and get more points.  With my points I got an Ozzie Newsome memorabilia football card (don't remember off the top of my head which one).  As a team collector who focuses on football and baseball, it seemed like a good opportunity to snag a card for free.  I had no complaints.  The card arrived in a couple weeks and was shipped well and exactly as pictured.  As I said, I had points, added them to my account, and immediately picked a card, so I can't give you any advice on whether there's a benefit in waiting.  If you open a lot of packs (and thus are likely to find more rewards points), you might be better off amassing more points to get to the better cards, but other than that....

I got one points card in a box of Hoops last year and redeemed it for a Magic Johnson jersey card. Didn't like having to pay a $5.95 US shipping fee for my "free" card, but at least I got to pick the player I wanted rather than have to settle for the sort of random fringe players I usually pull in boxes.

Ive redeemed a few rewards cards, but never cashed in on any other them.. so not sure if its worth it or not. i know on a couple of the football sets, there are a select few cards that you can only get through the rewards program

I recently got a hobby box of hoops, 1500 point redemption card inside, and I got some great cards, around $40 worth, basketball and baseball. Shipping sucked but I was pleased with the overall value.
