I went to go blow a decent chunk of points before the devaluation and I cannot find standard room redemptions. There is an event that I want to go to in AMS the second weekend of September and room rates are ridiculous.

I looked at a couple of other dates in November/December and it is the same deal. The skeptic in my feels that all of the properties are playing games in advance of the devaluation. If someone told me that is how it is now, I would believe it because I have not been traveling much over the last year.
