Didn't think of the per diem thing...that makes sense.

CY and SHS are only 250. My ~100 annual stays are half JW/RI/FSM and half SHS/CY with a very occaisional FI thrown in, so my welcome gift gets me a couple free rooms each year.

And it's better than last years' water and Milano cookies. I'd throw the cookies away, but then think about them in the middle of the night and fish them out. Oh, the shame. 250 points have zero calories!
