Choice has a lot of Rodeways and Econolodges and such in rarely-visited-by-most-people locations. Have those all be devalued? Has anyone even checked?
IOTW, what Choice isn't mentioning is "there are over XXXX hotels at the 8000 point level, but most of them are nowhere you are likely to travel".
Also, keep in mind that points needed for redemption change several times a year. One way of counting would be to count a hotel as 8000 points even if it's only 8000 points for a few months a year (and then only certain days of the week those months). So a hotel in a desert city that is more points during the winter but is 8000 points during the summer when hardly anyone visits might be counted as an 8000 point hotel, even though every time you want to visit there during the winter it's never 8000 points.
