Questioning whether it's worth spending 30K points at a value of about 1.6 cents per point. I could book a Prive rate for about $500 and receive breakfast and $100 credit. I'm only Discoverist, so likely will be put in a interior-facing Park King but revenue Prive rate would likely guarantee a Harbour View room. Not super enthused on spending $500 outright but it seems like the points would be a waste unless I score an upgrade on the points booking. Would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!
I've never seen rates that low for a decade!

I wouldn't spend $500 on the use of 30,000 points. Plus Prive will be of great benefit. There is no point staying at the PH with a view of Hickson Rd.
