Maybe it's time to switch to Marriott or SPG or maybe I'm not doing something correctly with the PC codes
I think the big points haul that came with the first stay under the 6*/double/welcome back/new member bonuses is not characteristic for PC, and the 5-8k per night are more typical. Still not a bad deal considering that 5k buys a pointbreaks night, and 40k buy a night at ICs in Bora Bora, Paris, Amsterdam, etc. One way to maximize points is to use different accounts when traveling with relatives (or "relatives") to make sure everybody gets the one-time bonuses.
