John, As the author of StarterCart, I am decidedly biased.
That being said, switching out to use points instead of money should be a small matter. You would have to extend StarterCart.cfc and change/replace the "processPayment" method to deduct points instead of hitting a payment gateway. You might also need to change/replace the "placeOrder" method so that it expects member information instead of payment information. Then you would just change "variables.steps" in the controller for the check out, either removing or replacing the credit card step (or use the one-page checkout with a small configuration). http://www.bryantwebconsulting.com/docs/cart/checkout.cfm Point being, this should all be pretty easy. This is a great example of a customization, so I will try to blog and document it in the near future. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks, Steve >Hi!
