What award price changes?

A Cat 6 property is still 40,000 pts/night.
A GLONP2 is still 175,000 pts/6 nights.

What has changed is the re-categorization of properties to a higher category level. Since I normally only consider spending points at the upper levels, there has been minimal to no impact on me. And, Hilton has been good about handing out points and free night certs like candy. That may eventually lead to an increase in award prices, but until then I'm fine.

YM, of course, MV.
