Just letting everyone know, if you have 800MS points, and intend on buying the Halo 4 Champions Bundle, it comes outs a couple days before this shuts down. So keep wary of this, because you may not be able to buy the champions with your MS points, because of the currency exchange rate.

So will my MS points be converted into real money or just disappear?
