Here is the list of new hotel catagory effective 28 MAR 2013;

I was interested in booking Conrad Hong Kong:
Old cat/rate: Cat 7 - 50K points per night
New cat/rate: Cat 9 - 50K to 80K points per night
Will have to wait to see if it will be closer to 50K or 80K
Interesting Note: Conrad Macao, Cotai Central will change from Cat 6 to Cat 5.
