I seem to remember one point used to be multiplied with .165
Correct?
That come down to 16.5 cents per point?
I am bad at math. Real bad.
So now one point is worth 15 cents in other words.(?)
Not to mention the discount Executive webmasters got. 10%?
That still going to be in effect?
Someone please correct me if my math is off.

Your math seems right to me. A point was $0.165, and with the 10% discount was effectively $0.183, and it seems to be being reduced to $0.15, not sure on the 10% discount. So you could be looking at up to an 18% reduction in the value of your rewards points. On the other hand, a week or two ago ARS added a 15% ordering fee for items not listed in their limited "store," which made that $0.165 point effectively worth $0.143 points for most things you'd want. The new rewards system sounds like they'll add items on request, so that 15% penalty could be removed, leaving you ahead overall.
