Looked around to try to burn some points in Phoenix area today and most of the properties on the east side of town were up to 11k, 15k, or 18k. I too will not be earning LQ points next year, but that's mostly because there's not a decent property in the areas I will be most frequently traveling to in Eastern IA. The Choice properties here are much nicer.
Not sure what I'll do with my 38k points now. I'm sure I'll find something.
