I'll admit I haven't tried it at an IC. The last time I did it was last year at the Ft. Walton Beach HI Resort. We worked out a deal where I used points for a standard room + $100/night and I was able to spend a few nights in the 2-bedroom Penthouse suite. I don't know what the normal charge is for that room, but I figured $100 was definitely less than what a 2nd room there would have cost plus I got the kitchen, living room and 2 balconies.
