Pretty bold move they're making in this economy. I wonder if it'll work out for them
You wont be the only one, and I think MR wants that to happen. They fill rooms next year when travel is expected to be low, and hotel rooms empty, from one side, hence prices next year will be cheap for lack of demand, while at the same time, they lower the overall balance of points MR members spend on a lower value rooms next year (because of low demand). So that is the best MR could do. If member do not cash their points, they will pay more anyway starting Jan 15.
