Sorry, flunked again.
The current category 7 points costs are 25,000 off-peak, 30,000 standard, 35,000 peak.
The new category 7 points costs range from 25.000 to 55,000. So if a current "peak" priced category 7 goes from 35,000 to the new "top" priced 55,000, that is a 67% increase.
It is disingenuous in my opinion to compare the current off-peak price to the new top price.
In order to accurately gauge the devaluation percentage for a particular hotel, the old rate and new rate of every night of the year needs to be considered.
Since we do not yet know the assignment of levels for each night at any hotel, it is not possible to judge the devaluation percentage for any particular hotel, or for the overall program considering all hotels.
