If just one person is traveling, it's not such a great deal at 9500 points for a $100 upgrade.
Don't forget that there are no capacity controls. A roomette may cost $100 in the lowest bucket, but as the train fills up, the price goes up, but the points needed do not.

Also, you can get business class on your Wolverine segment (or whatever other train you take where there is no sleeper).
