So just to summarize... the only true enhancement is if you stay for 5 nights in a Cat 2/3/4 hotel. Other than that, its a massive devaluation with huge point increases across the board, and 30%-40% in what used to be the 'sweet spot' for best value of 7 nights in cat 5/6/7.

The more I think about this, the more it upsets me. I'd much rather give back the no blackouts and keep the current system with the incremental reduction in points per night as you stay longer. That was the one big place where MR had an advantage, now they blew that away. The increased point bonus for Plats doesn't even com eclose to making up for the across the board recemption increase. As for golds, we get bent over and slammed for staying 50+ nights.
