I typically redeem Amex points at a rate of about 1,000 = $10, so for 7,000 points you can likely get a gift certificate in the $60-80 range, significantly more than the reinstatement fee.
The value depends on how you choose to redeem it (travel vs. electronics vs. perfumes etc.). 5-10K points would be the range.
