this takes most of the value out of the program...
But was it ever worthwhile using GoFast for an under $100 property? You earn 1000 points minimum on a paid stay, so it seems a waste to use 3000 points and some cash (even if way less than 65% cash).for an under $100 property and then earn nothing on that.

It seems to me that under $100 properties is where you want to earn, and significantly more expensive properties is where you want to redeem, to get the most value out of the program.
