The reason I ask is to try to ascertain what a hotel would think 100,000 rewards points offered for a meeting were worth and thereby how much discount could I expect with no points

Thanks
it's confidental and proprietary information....but if you ask a GM he might share it with you (however I would advise against post it in a public forum)
