Anybody can use whatever method to value as they wish. That said, I am not convinced TPG is being internally consistent: Hilton points are worth 0.6 and Marriott points are worth 0.8, really? If I could give up 100k Hilton points in return for 75k Marriott points I would do it in a heartbeat. Does it mean TPG would be ambivalent?

So regardless of how 5th night free, resort fees, etc. are all considered, I agree with @Cledaybuck that 0.6 is too high, at least on a relative basis versus other valuations shown. TPG did not change the 0.6 after the recent devaluation so it's been at 0.6 for at least one year...
