Thank you Starwood for posting the hotel list.

I do like the 6 month grace period, very fair indeed.

On the subject of resorts offering great value, I;d like to add one of my favorites.

It's a bit off the beaten path, the Sheraton Moriah Dead Sea. Okay, so its a more then just a bit off the beaten path

I stayed there in January and it was superb. Perhaps the finest Category 1, thats right 1, hotel. The lowest rate the hotel offers is an endless weekend rate at $199. Making 2000 points for a weekend stay an exception value.
The hotel is beachfront on the dead sea and the service was outstanding.
