Default Lexus Pursuit Points ~~ Cargo Mats

I got in on the Lexus Pursuits Promo when I bought my RX, Now that they have been credited to my account (nearly 1k) I have been pondering how to use them. While I believe I will use them mostly for maintenance, (considered XM) I think I will use some points for a cargo mat. Does anyone mind sharing what they paid for the Lexus Mat? I noticed Park Place Lexus has Ebay listings for the cargo mat for about 90 bucks that says it's for the RX350 (although it LOOKS like the RX330 mat) If my dealer is going to charge me 50% more, maybe I'd be better off saving the points strictly for servicing.

We plan on continuing to use the card for the purchases we pay in full every month to keep the points accumulating and I am hoping it will cover all the future maintenance, We don't anticipate another Lexus vehicle purchase in the near future. Does anyone has any great ideas on how to spend the points that I'm not considering?

Does Sewell and Park Place Lexus take the pursuit points as payment? My dealer is about 45 min away, and although I have to take it in for the 30 day check soon, if the mat has to be ordered and it will require another trip, I would just rather have it sent to my house.

Also, I have the Gray Interior and have the Weathertech Floor Liners in Black, so I assume I would want to order the black Lexus Cargo Mat instead of the gray. Any opinions?

I went with black in the cargo area to match the WeatherTech Floorliners. However, since the cargo area is separate I think gray or black would be fine. I didn't think the WeatherTech gray was a good match, so I went with black. Maybe Lexus has the correct color gray.

Default Alternate Cargo Mat

I wanted a mat without the raised "lip" AND I found one which is clear.

You can see it it here...

Got my cargo Mat/Tray (can't recall their specific description) yesterday at the Lexus Dealer. It was $125.00 and I asked them to use my Pursuit points as payment (the 2 service advisors there had only processed points one other time, so I am to call if I receive a charge rather than a point reduction as they were not confident in the process)

For any of you that have the Lexus liner, are you happy with it? Is your carpeted mat underneath? Mine's still all curled up from being in a box so I can't really tell how well it fits, but it seems thinner than I expected. Any ways to speed up the flattening of the liner so it fits properly? Dealer just said, "It will flatten out, they always do"

Fits perfectly, I just put it in the cargo area and a few heavy cases of soda or anything that weight around 15 lbs on it... left it in there over the weekend and it was good to go.. I took my mats and rolled in the box for storage (I also bought all weather mats). The Lexus tray/mat is good quality plastic as there are no smell and it does not adhere to the cargo area of your RX. There is a more expensive one I found on line for $169, but these $125 are good enough

What is the difference between trays PT218-48055 and PT218-48065, other than the price? Both trays are listed on the RX350 page at lexus-parts.

We were doing this prior to getting the mat. We live in such a rainy climate, when ever we open the back hatch, it seems we are exposing the area to the wet, even when it was flipped over the edges of the carpet were still slighly exposed.
