IMO the template for gradual reward points cost inflation already exists given the integration of the legacy SPG categories 6 and 7. At the 3:1 ratio SPG category 6 is 60,000 to 75,000 MR points and category 7 is 90,000 to 105,000 MR points. It would be easy for the combined company to create a new awards rate structure for all properties that encompasses these high levels along with the existing Ritz tiers 3-5 ( 50k, 60k, & 70k MR points). Then properties could gradually drift upwards into these higher categories.
