All good VIP gem rewards out of stick

I saw in my email today that the VIP gems you get from claiming the perks you've earned must be redeemed by mid June. I have an issue. I was going to redeem those today, but there's nothing good in stock for me to redeem. Are these stocked regularly? Or
am I going to have to spend the gems on crap I will never use instead of a Visa Prepaid card or Rewards credits. I do mean everything decent like that is out of stock. Is this just a big rush of people redeeming things and they will be stocked again soon?
I really hope so. I've been a member since 2012, and would like to get something decent. Please clarify this.

Why is the value of a VIP Gem going down drastically when it is transferred?

I was reading the FAQ about the whole migration to Microsoft Rewards Program and I have a problem with it. The value of a VIP gem is going down drastically. I use the Microsoft Rewards program and $1 is equivalent to 1000
points. That's the same as Xbox Rewards credit so that isn't a problem however, in the FAQ it states that
1 VIP gem is going to equal 1 Microsoft Reward Point. That's a drastic difference.
In the vault, a $10 visa gift card or 10,000 Xbox Live Rewards Credits is going to cost you 500 gems. If you do the math, that's 50 VIP gems for each $1. The price for a $25 gift card is 40 VIP gems for each $1, which is 1,000 VIP gems. If I have
I don't use the 1,000 VIP gems I have, they will be transferred to the new Microsoft Rewards Program. I'd have 1,000 Microsoft Rewards Points, which is equal to $1.00.... Why is the value of a VIP gem going down so much? I understand that people
should spend their VIP gems before the Transition in order to get the best monetary value out of the gems but, the most wanted items in the vault are always out of stock. I've been trying to spend my gems for the past two weeks and the gift card, Xbox live,
Xbox Live rewards Credits, and even t-shirts are always out of stock. This really seems unfair to the people that have been completing missions and purchasing games and are looking forward to a little reward for being a loyal Xbox user.

 

Everything worth buying out of stock even digital goods

I have 1300+ my vip gems that i cant spend on anything worth buying and a deadline to spend them. currently in the xbox live rewards program (if they weren't out of stock) i could buy 2x 10k rewards credits equivalent to 10 dollars xbox currency for 500
my vip gems each and 1x 5k rewards credits equivalent to 5 dollars xbox currency for 250 my vip gems. Why is a digital item out of stock i dont like the exchange rate from my vip gems to microsoft rewards program. It has a 1 to 1 exchange rate 1 gem equals
1 microsoft point and currently it will cost me 25,000 microsoft rewards ponits to get the same amount 25 dollars. I will also miss the rebates for going digital and movie rentals. 1,250 my vip gems = 25,000 rewards credits = 25 dollars xbox currency. Please
do the rite thing here give us what we deserve as loyal customers and fans or leave the program alone. Id prefer the later. Make it rite.....
