Per http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/13888837-post103.html they didn't fully sell out for about half an hour, even though some folks had trouble initially buying them.
What I think really sucks is that 7am for us PST is a bit inconvenient....

I might have preferred that to 10am my time. People at work kind of look at you funny when you run over to your computer and start frantically clicking to buy hotel points. Oh well, it was well worth it.

Strange how the bigger package you buy, the less value you're getting.
24K is 0.0934 cents/point
69K is 1.0144 cents/point

Couple of things to note: for US residents only
also with the SPG ones, the deals were done very fast, so you need to get up at 7AM PST, many people had troubles purchasing.
Buyer beware....

That's true but at 1.0144 its still a very good price. Judging by how fast the SPG points went and the limit of 1 per purchase, if you want the large number of points you are going to have to bit extra.
