Have the cash prices gone up as well?
Just curious as to how deep the analysis has gone by anyone across brands or geographies or is this just a case of someone kicking over the devaluation can because a particular redemption they were looking at and should have booked has now gone up in points cost?
You can argue if even after a 30-50% hike redemption still present value for one or not, but that does not make the devaluation we are talking about go away. For the properties I've mentioned the cash rates are about the same for over 2 years now (and unlikely to go higher as they would reach Cheval Blanc / Soneva territory)…
