Did the category change last month or has the cap been raised from 40,000 to 60,000 today March 1st when the Categories were removed?
My guess is that before 3/1 Cats 4-10 had 2 pt amounts eg a Cat 7 was 40k - 60k depending on the season, I think as of 3/1 its now 60k as its cap but if the rate is under $300 w/tx then it should be less pts needed. gone will be say a rate of $275 during low season when it would have been 40k and now will be 55k
I think the only benefit will be when the rate is above what would be the cap is eg prior Cat7 has reg rooms for say $350 so it will take only 60k or is so low say $150 so now it will be 30k when in the past it was 40k and most likely folks would have paid ca$h instead of using 40k W/o any proof my gut tells me that these cases where we will benefit will be far and few, but they will be out there
