Although I have stayed there, I prefer 2 other hotels in the same area that I think are nicer, better staffed, treat me better, etc... and are not even half the price.

Thanks for pointing that out, I probably be able to find some here and there, but still will be tough for me spending down these points, and definitely not a reason to keep my card.
Can you provide your example dates at W Rome? I just checked a random date of Feb 11, member flexible rate is 549 EUR all in, EDIT is 655 USD. The difference is 17 EUR which is just the rack rate vs member rate.

Also lol @ the “Anything more expensive than I can afford is a waste of money” attitude from some folks in this thread.
