The only property near me on the list is charging $150+ a night for even something like an AARP rate. I don't think I can lower it much.

Meanwhile, I can find other brands of hotels nearby for just about 1/3 of that. (That's because the new property is a Wyndham and is priced for reimbursed business travel, while there are plenty of Days Inns and Travelodges and Super 8s nearby that have way more "affordable" pricing.)

Since I have to pay for all my stays on my own dime (and never get reimbursed), overpaying by $100ish is not worth 16000 WR points to me, sorry.

(It's not like the recent Club Carlson promos where I was able to find hotels for well under $100/night at some rates and earned 44000 to 50000 CC points per one-night stays at those.)
