Possibly but even if they are some months are short up to 700 points with approximately 40 transactions on the statement which would equate to 80 points if rounding down. Then there are some months that the hotel points are over as they were in January which would suggest rounding up rather than down.
I honestly haven't got a clue tbh and the 4x points for hotels still aren't adding correctly despite a letter from the Executive Office back in September of last year advising that this issue would be sorted soon.

Yes it's tempting to do although I have had tremendous value from the free nights. NYE 2013 I used it at IC in New York and have PL booked for this year already - the Best Flex rate for PL was £489 when I checked last week so in that respect it's worth the £99 and once I've achieved the £10k spend it will go back in the sock drawer and I'll look for something else.
