I'm also not sure they owe the value based taxes or remit them to taxing authorities which they continue to collect for these free days. They are waiting for a taxing authority or state AG to stop them.
I was able to get the miracle 700 pts redemption value for a 5 days resv in Nov. Philadelphia, non-airport location. Burning the useless points while there is the opportunity.
