But if you go back to the search page and click again after the refresh, the higher amount will appear. In my case, it was a huge difference - 3485 vs 60k!!
I notice that a few of them change day-by-day. What concerns me, however, is the big points earners are always the most expensive properties in town. Sure, I'd like to earn 12,000 points but not if it means spending $987 to get it. I want to stay at the cheap place out by the Interstate, not some swanky spot downtown or by the beach. Unfortunately the cheap place is one point per dollar, and never seems to change. I miss my 600 points...
