That did occur in 2013, but it was hardly the most recent major deval. Originally the 80/95k was a handful of properties.

There are no published categories anymore. Now even many hampton inns are 50k+ for standard awards at off-peak times. The old, more favorable Points and Money are gone. The variable points costs (based on $$ cost) have gone up multiple times. The larger devaluations have crept in after they went to the opaque "no categories anymore, ha!" set up.

There are properties that are allowed to only list a handful of handicap rooms as their only standard awards or to even to disable standard point awards completely. Yes, the hhonors rep has stated this is not the case, asked for examples, gone and "checked on it" and nothing done of course to "correct".
