You enter the serial numbers of the coupons into your account on their website. Once you hit $200 they'll issue a Visa card to you with the balance. Then you can keep adding to the card's balance $5 at time.
Nice perk, bigger jets make out pretty well. On the Phenom 300 I usually didn't have any trouble getting the $200/year to keep the card alive. One word of caution, if you get more than $600 I think it was you'll get a Form 1099 and get taxed on the amount.
Edit: Used to be easy to buy/sell the coupons but now I think I remember they have it by your name or something.
Im on the X. If we fill up on a transcon at an Atlantic, we double at 900 gallons and usually, whether or not we double, we split the points between the two pilots. On a transcon out of TEB I can make about $45-55 give or take, plus whatever we save on fuel if I'm the pilot flying. Fuel savings are assigned to the PF for that leg.
