you buy 40k points, you get 38k in bonus for $1505(incl tax)

Buying miles is usually a bad value, and this is still the case specially with the recent devaluation from United. Even at 100% it's still a bad value unless you have a very specific redemption in mind.

So 78k points in total for approx 1.23L, doesn't seem worth it.

yeah i think this would be more helpful for people who have some points missing to get their reward flight
