RIP to the 10k per night US Hampton Inns (and one HGI)
All of these were still bookable at 10k last week... I think there were a few others I am missing here that were still 10k but I don't know where they were. Rural central US/plains states for sure. But definitely none in KS, MN, ND, SD, WY, NE.
In the past week, the last of these 10k point US properties have become 15k point properties:
Tulsa, OK-HGI-Tulsa South
Tulsa, OK-Hampton-Bixby
Miami, OK-Hampton
In the past week, the last of these 10k point US Hampton Inns have become 20k point Hampton Inns.
These Hamptons I knew of were:
Deming, NM
Lordsburg, NM
La Junta, CO
Clarksville, AR
Pretty steep for Lordsburg and La Junta, in my opinion. Having been there before... the 15k rates in OK are okay I suppose. Let's see how long they stay 15k...

The Hampton Inn La Junta was a miserable stay even at 10K points.

The interface and functionality seems to have changed with the Points Explorer tool, as it does not seem to work as well as it once did.
When I have some time, I intend to see what I can do to figure out how to best use it...
...but the good news is that the hotel properties which require only 5,000 points per night and 10,000 points per night are not completely gone — although that seems to be the case in the United States — as countries such as Turkey still seem to have them available.

I'd like to figure out the algorithm for dynamic pricing/points as some increase point value with any change (increase) in rate while others I have seen show the same point value no matter any rate changes. This includes booking close to day of reservation when nearly sold out.
