Yeah, I'm OK with only 10 or 15% of a chain's hotels being good redemption values (if they're VERY good redemption values!) because that's good enough for me to utilize given my frequent travel schedule. With BW, I don't see the Daily Getaways price to meet that standard -- unless I'm missing something. Like with Choice, I get a few Ascend hotels on points for 1/4 their lowest published rates. I don't see anything like that on BW. I found one hotel where I might save 10 bucks.
