Ha! The "points" chart used to say that the Casa Marina old/vs new was "as low as" 51k or something?
Yesterday (booking directly, not using the point chart) it said:
From 70,000/night
Now it says:
From 115,000/night
What a joke. I *knew* this was going to happen with the "dynamic" demand based pricing. Just like Delta.
Good thing I booked a few weeks ago just in case.
So I clicked the Standard Rates which gives me CASH only, then I have to click the "pay with points".
Rate is now 80k/night for standard room vs. the 70k/night previously. Again, worse value.
Only "good" thing is that I used most of my points that I'd saved for 16 years, now that they're devalued I won't bother getting any more.
I suppose other "good" thing is that you can pay with points and money now whereas before the Casa Marina (or The Reach) never had any points with money rooms available.
