But then an increase from 32k to 40k is just covering the cheaper cost of points these days , eg
o 2years ago, cheapest typically P+C at us$70/10k (us$7/1k) so 32k points value couls be said to be us$224 (but p+c now no longer that higher us$7/1k)
o In last 18months the P+C has variable discounted P+C rates, even to be P+C of 15k/20k per night.
IHGers can now obtain via P+C points at just us$5.5/1k , SO .... 32k is now usd176 and 40k is usd220 , so same net Ambassdor purhase cost usd224 v usd220
