Too bad. I'm sure many people will be disappointed by change.
Thinking of booking for Mayakoba before it goes up in points.
Mayakoba is pretty often a better deal on cash than points. A typical price is only $300/nt, and sometimes sales bring it down to $200 (or less if you have Prestige 4th night free, or sometimes there are Prive specials). Last year over thanksgiving I only paid ~$650 for four nights (that I then used a TSU on top of for a beach suite).
