also Westin LAX and Sheraton LAX often available for more than 3 cents / point

Thanks.

In the two places I frequent in Asia, HK and Taipei, Cash & Points are all but disappeared. The Taipei W, LeMeridien and Sheraton have pulled out from C&P entirely. Only Taipe Westin remains in, but the value is less than 3c.
