Just booked a one night Saturday stay in February with 15k bonus points...

Room costs $220 including tax which is roughly $80 more than I would have payed anyway. So $80 for a minimum 18k points + free internet and airport shuttle (which I would otherwise have paid for). Net cost to me maybe $50-60 dollars for 18k points - I'm happy with the value in that ^

Thanks to the OP for posting.
