For instance, looking at the week of 8/21 or 8/28 i'm finding NIGHTLY rates of 157,000 points just for a garden room...quite demotivating; I would have to rack up a ton of points over the next 8 months to make that worth it...

Does a phone call to Hhonors help to reduce points? Also, by next week I will have achieved Diamond (from Gold)...will this make a difference?

Thanks all!
