The 5 night vacationer may come away with something beneficial (maybe... in a few isolated cases). Maybe the no blackouts thing could help some people, even though it's not still not actually "no blackouts". Those people who are happy to have enough points to be able to redeem them for something will probably feel like they got something out of this.

Those of us smart enough to know what the points are really worth and what value they can bring when doing travel packages or 7 night category 7 stays will, of course, know that we are getting a royal screwjob.
