Another year, another devaluation in points. Some of those changes are pretty bad... 3 more locations added to the supposedly very limited cat 8 level. Surf Club and Ocean club aren't even a full service hotel... its a timeshare, so that cat8 level will only get you an ordinary room. For a villa its another 10k/nt.

More hotels moving from cat 5->6 means that annual Visa Signature cat5 cert just got devalued as well. I can just imagine all of the hotels going from cat 4->5 which will make all fo those cat4 promo certs worthless.
