Should I be worried?

From my Amex statement this morning.
You'll need more points to redeem gift cards.
The minimum amount of points needed to redeem for a gift card is Infinity points. To earn more, you can check out local shops or online stores by viewing Maps.
(My underlining.)

They have a scheme whereby you can redeem points. I have 71,105 points and it says somewhere they are redeemable at 100 points = $1. So my shabby and underused arithmetic tells me I have somewhere north of $700 I can redeem. I've never used the points; and I use the card only when I travel. But it seems that I have not yet racked up enough points - where will it all end?

It's gonna take you forever to earn the required points.

Are points similar to numbers? Have we not already established there are an infinite number of numbers between one and two?

Perhaps you should consult some manifestation of IA with this formulation of when you may redeem your points. I am guessing your reply you quote above was created by some form of IA rather than an organic biological creature. By the way, Burning Petard was an avatar created by a computer as a replacement for the avatar Snailgate, an avatar created by a human being.
