News flash. High-demand hotels, in a strong economy, have gone up in price. Sure it sucks, and thanks for letting us know. No need for all of the outrage and claims of bait and switch.
Cash price of the booking I made yesterday is the same today, only the points cost increased.

This is about decreasing the value of points not increasing the cost of the room due to demand.
