And second, because when you have a digital credit, then all the prices shown subtract the value of the credit, making everything look cheaper. So you really have to pay attention when you have a digital credit in your account.
Has anyone else seen this? I'll try to attach an image.
If this is a "trial" thing - I hope they keep it.
And it was a big six or big five or whatever they are now - big publisher - book...

I think you still need to accumulate 300 points to earn a reward and the reason you were able to redeem 199 points is because you had 448 points on balance.
When I went to a book page, it showed a balance of 257/300 pts and a message of: "You're only 43 pts away from a $3.00 reward".
Also, this appears to be a limited time offer (or maybe a trial):
