bs

imagine my shock.
+1 found a couple of places I usually used pts, were 20k and now on a random date was 23k. However another hotel that was 30k on that same random date was 19k

After going over numerous hotels pts vs $$. It seems its all based on what the rate is at the time you are making the res, with at best a ratio of .0055 per pt, many closer to .005 The lower the $ rate that night = less pts needed, and the higher the rate the more pts needed. So gone is any and every night for 20k , a previous cat 4 can be lower then an old Cat 2 and vice versa its all based on the going rate at the time you book!
