IME, Monday-Thursday that number is much higher than 60% where as on weekends it's considerably lower. The average guest just wants the points to spend with Amazon or to have enough for a free night or two when possible. Benefits are not something that the overwhelming bulk of the travelling public care about and/or are educated in.
