BUT, all the premium awards seemingly doubled in points price. Now all I see is rooms available for over 900K points per night (again, premium) with some dates over 1 million. What does it mean? No idea. But I will admit after Southwest's overnight devaluation yesterday, I am a little spooked/worried.
More or less same data point. I need June 30 to add to my 6 nights already... been looking everyday for a 120K points night. OWV is available (no reef), cash cost is $2066 for June 30th. Prior to today, cost was 701K points.... now 901K points. Same cash rate, $2066. Nothing changed except the 200K increase in awards cost!

Guess i will be going to the Sheraton for a night or the Jen hotel in Male.
