Sorry to hear that you feel that way. We have not devalued our elite benefits. Reward availability has never been based on last room availability. A reward night still requires only one reward certificate regardless of where in the country you redeem (as opposed to more complicated redemption schemas with other programs), and if the limited inventory frustrates you, we understand and respect your opinion. Booking further ahead will definitely ensure more availability. We appreciate the feedback, and should you choose to stay elsewhere, we are sorry to see you go, but we understand and wish you the very best.
