Remains to be seen. If "off-peak" is set centrally, monthly, etc. then there will be some sweet spots left open. If the hotel gets to define on a day-by-day basis what "peak" is, then this is a massive devaluation. (although that would save some noob members from spending excess points when cash rates are low)
