Literally, that would be this year. Would you like me to get my historical files and do a year-by-year analysis when I get home. I have the data. Perhaps you can provide your numbers over the last 5 years to see if our raw data agrees. btw. 80% going up of 10% of properties changing means 92% of properties stayed the same or went down. % direction of properties that changes is meaningless. If all but 1 property was unchanged and 1 went up, would that be "100% devaluation"?
2015 is the worst year I have currently available. A net of 17.5% property increases.
Moving up a category is not "Massive Devaluation", all 45K properties becoming 90K, etc.
Do you not see the difference.
I would claim a 40k will be a 40-45k, accounting for typical annual inflation.
Fwiw, I have 1 MR night this year. Probably 20 over the last 3 years since hitting LT status. The vast, vast majority of my stays are with SPG, and I've been quite critical of MR's fake "No Blackouts" claims for quite some time. But again, don't let facts or logic get in your way of proclamations or personal attacks. (oooh, I'm a Marriott Evangelist - I feel so hurt....)
I've marked your words!! How bold!!!
My bet stands - "Will you bet that all current MR Cat 8 will be Cat 8 in the new program?". 3 month vacation from FT. Accepted? Open to anyone.
