Cash rates certainly justify a higher rating, but maybe WoH has other metrics to look at. Don't they own this hotel? Maybe they'd prefer to get points off the balance sheet at their own property...
I do wonder if it's (properties like this) part of the advertising strategy to sell more credit cards - if people see their friends awesome vacations on points at this $400+/night resort then that's more WoH Credit Card sign ups potentially.
