Conrad Hong Kong is $969 HKD + 28k points Sunday night (USD $125)... or 3100 HKD (USD $400), so 28k points is still getting you almost a penny a point.

Or let's take Conrad Bangkok: 1555 THB +12,000 ($50 USD) or 5100 THB ($160). Again, almost a penny a point.
Those are good. And I've found found similar C&P offers in London in the past; they come and go. Just proves they're not always an automatically sweet deal.
