There was a thread 2 years ago where somebody discussed with me what would happen in the end. I could not find the right word choice to explain myself, but tried to say that I expected that all the *wood hotels would be re-assigned to one of the existing 9 Marriott (non-RItz) categories! So the insanely high points-prices of *wood Cat 7 & 6 would end as they would cost "only" 45K MR = 15K *wood points!
It may look wishful now
! Maybe those high-end *woods will end up in the Ritz Tiers or equally expensive new MR Categories.
