Yup, great news for earning if you typically spend less than $100/night. But if my typical redemption is 5500 points and my typical spend is $65/night I still lose on this deal. It would take 11 stays at 650 points each to have enough for a 5500 point redemption. Those 11 stays will now earn the same customer 11,000 points but leave them 4,000 short of an award night.
On the plus side, the 20/40/60 night bonuses are also better for the cheap stay customer with the fixed rate.
If one often spends more on a room the 1,000/night floor doesn't help and the 15,000 fixed bonus is actually a cut, not an increase.

Without any numbers available for the cash portion of the booking this is so a particularly compelling argument. Maybe it will be awesome, but I choose to have data before making such decisions, not just marketing copy.
