I am getting weird results as a result of this move. Like in a lot of hotels, having 2 people in the room makes the award more expensive than 1 person.
Checking regularly and cancel/rebook if necessary is now definitely the way to go. They now need to be treated in the same way as flexible reservations imo.

Re the sales I don't think it will change the points as I'm sure points required is worked out on the HH flexible cash rate and the sales are usual x% off the flex rate.
