I doubt we will ever see a "build your own" program. I agree those are not great payback options. But I can see someone that has earned mega points and finds they have no way to burn them on stays, they may choose to use them to get something they don't want to spend $s.

Everyone has their own pluses and minuses. No need to cancel something just because it's no use to you. I'm not likely to stay at a RC property, so should they drop the brand?
