The nightmare continues
This I am went to do my daily search for a 10 day stay (2x using 5 day stay using point).
1. They limit you to 9 days.. NOT GOOD
2. There is not longer a box to specify the checking in checkout just number of days.
3. They do not provide a cost on the result of the search page just a required click to see average costs.
WHY?

All three items are a result of having the My dates are flexible box checked during your search. Uncheck it and you can specify 1) your desired Check-in and Check-out dates, 2) search for your specific 10 day period and 3) will provide the cost format you are expecting.
Checking the My dates are flexible box with Number of nights set to 1 allows you to search for available award nights when you encounter a date ranges that don't have availability. In those cases, sometimes it is because standard rooms are sold out for only a day or two of the date range for which one is searching. I have booked 5 nights award, 2 paid, 5 night award and then dealt with it at check-in. I have never had to switch rooms mid stay (yet). Adding additional days to my holiday is never a burden IMO.
YMMV
