Wow, this is exactly how management answered me when I cited 3.2.n (was told I don't care, complain to Bonvoy about me, and hung up), I guess I'm *glad* to know hotels feels Bonvoy is toothless to do anything about it that they told Bonvoy Ambassador to go away.

This is something I fear when the merger happens. Points are not only devalued (as if this is not bad enough already), but worthless as you can't meaningfully spend it.
