There are still good values here and there for HHonors points but after I burn through my last 120k, that will be it for me.
Wow just played with some locations we were toying with (Conrad Maldives, Conrad Bali, Bora Bora Nui), crazy difference in redemption rates. Looks like I should still be able to pull it off with my balance but a lot more than I had to use before.

I agree though, used to love the program but it is ridiculous to continue spending on my Surpass card if I don't plan on using those points in the same year. Once I use these points looks like I will be leaving also.

For people who arn't familiar with the churning game it must be near impossible to try to save up enough points to take that "dream vacation". By the time you get the amount you needed it has doubled.
