Agree with your point of view. As someone who have taken advantage of every previous PB, I have to say last 4 years the list is horrible. There are several years there is not a single hotel in Pacific region, or less than a dozen in Asia or Africa. The hotel in Europe is always the same property.
I am not going to say that there will be no disappointment. But with all the points you get from Accelerator, in my case, almost 200,000 per year with all tasks done, I will welcome the change. 15,000 worth nothing if you can not use it, or use on a 70,000 points hotel that cash rate is USD$250. Only in an ideal world that 15,000 is worth USD$100 at today's rate. Everyone has very different personal situation and 15,000 worth nothing if you have no intention or plan to use 15,000 at the ideal place which can worth about USD$100.
I think people should reserve their disappointment until the full list is out.
