This seems just as hysterical as the nonsensical suggestions by others herein that a room at the Marriott Marquis NYC is somehow going to eventually cost 100,000 points—as if somehow the Marriott Marquis is even remotely in the same league or price point as the St Regis or Chatwal or Gramercy Park or Ritz Carlton hotels in NYC. Again, the regular cash rates for these properties belie the nonsense of these suggestions.
Yet take it down a slight notch in NYC where a CY, RI or FI is 40,000 and the JW/FS/REN is 45,000. MInd that very slight gap. Nothing left to do but go up, up, up. We've been hosed. Some realize it now, others will catch on later...
