Actually, the upcoming is several different deals (most but not all at the same point/dollar ratios whcih I don't find to be that great in this case) ranging from 16000 for $55 to 50000 for $143. (There's a goofy one for only 48000 for $165 which you should avoid, as you can see it's a way worse deal than the others.)

Right at the moment they're all here, and you see them by hovering over the pictures on the right (and scroll down to see the compartively-worse $165 deal).

I don't know how they make up these prices, but I stay at several Days Inns regularly for $55 (AAA or AARP) anyway, yet those Days Inn need more than 8000 points per night! That's why I'm saying this may not be a good deal unless you have a much better-valued redemption in mind.
