If you’d like the numbers displayed in an easier read format, I’ll be happy to spend some more time working on it. For example: I have been averaging 1600 points per month. This is above average spending based purely on speculation. I could be saving a total of three-and-a-half dollars per month, or $43.68 per year. That’s my skype bill. I know it doesn’t seem like that much savings at first, but I believe it really adds up and is worth holding out for the 4000 points.
