It appears your question is really about Help Owl, not Amazon. If I'm correct, you're asking why Help Owl is so cagey about what your points will buy in Amazon.

The short answer is that by not promising you a particular value for your points Help Owl is free to reduce the point value at will, after you've put in your time and effort accumulating them.

You may be able to find the current point value by going to Help Owl's Redeem Your Points page, and following the instructions as if you were redeeming your points now. You'll need to pick out an Amazon product and note its price and ASIN number. Upon entering that number where directed, Help Owl may tell you how many points you'd need for that product. Dividing the price by the number of points will tell you the value of each point.
