Very unscientific numbers based on too darn few properties for a good sample: I used to book a week of stay at the beach for 300K. When I got to 350K I tried another stay in a property I had used before and it was a bit over my 350K. I earned more and tried again and it was 400K. Don't misunderstand, The base rate did not change. The rate for a room that actually had a view of the beach keeps creeping out of range. I just rechecked and found that the room that was 30K per night just 4 years ago is now 100K per night for a similar week. I can get the parking lot view for 50K with no guarantee of upgrade.
If I can ever sneak up on a week, I will burn the points and be done.
