How were these calculated? For Conrad Intl., I see three properties changed(two 5 to 6 and a 1 to 2), but can't see how you calculated a 21.42% increase. Based on points currently required for an award night at all three properties (80K total) and points required after the changes (100K total), I calculate 25% ((100-80)/80).
