VIP points save less than 5%

Just a recent thought: VIP points save 100%-100%/1.05 = 4.76%, not 5%. Not that it matters much, but might be interesting for those of you who (like me) factor in VIP points in purchasing prices. Other factors that I don't consider: no interest rate on points (loss will be lower the earlier the points are being used) chance for overhanging points end up never being used (increased revenue decreases percentual loss) making less lucrative purchasing decissions because of points etc.
