Yea I was looking at the Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas. I ended up not needing to book, but yesterday they had C&P Cat 6 for 8,000 sp & $175. Now no C&P, and 30,000 cat 7 free night. I don't think this property should be a category 7, but what do I know. It kinds of makes me wonder if next year there will be a category 8, or 9.

Edit to add: When I try to access it through the SPG app for android, it shows the hotel as a cat 7, but when I click through to see a free night price it only requires 20,000 points.
