Actually we do too only because the Hampton / HGI by the airports in Poland are 10K properties while the cash rates are in $75 to $100. We actually need those due to our flights arrive at 10:30pm.

Though I suspect such high value redemption would be very rare with the norm being at $0.004 to $0.0055 most of the time.

Those who saw the point level dropped were missing an important point - the point levels in the past in those scenarios were so high and cash rates so low, nobody would use points but rather use cash booking. Now the same cash bookings can be "paid" with points at the fixed range of the value.
