Although I haven't followed the program very closely until recently, I've noticed that there are very few properties at the lower end as opposed to Choice where there are a decent number (although not always decent hotels!) from 6-10K. I think I have to see a sufficient number of properties staying in the 16-25K range to get more involved with BW, but at this point, I'm thinking that the annual fee card may be the way I'll go. As I mentioned upthread, if the annual fee card earned more than 2 points per $1 offered by the no-fee card for non-BW spend, I'd get it in a moment.
