The value of the *Wood points is quietly going down. Less and less rooms are being made available for free nights and more rooms and suites are being excluded from the upgrade pool.</font>
When you say fewer rooms are being made available for free nights, are you talking about suites? The reason I ask is that Starwood's big selling point is their lack of capacity controls.
From reading the boards here, I know frequent guests in all of the big programs are complaining about fewer rooms for upgrade. I wonder if that's because the hotels see business bouncing back and they are more hopeful that they will sell those rooms.
