Not sure on what you are saying unless it's that my 'money' devalued by 14% overnight when the switch happened. All I know is I had just over 7,000 points prior to the switch and enough to get a night in the hotel of my choice but that became just over 21,000 points after the switch and not enough
YYJMSP mentioned it's a wash but I've yet to see any of the Starwood hotels I've used in the past or intended using in the future where the new point value is below the 1:3 conversion ratio.
Over time the points required at various hotels overall migrates up but the points that you receive for your timeshare unit never increases. It's much like making $10 an hour when gas was $1 per gallon and 20 years later you still make $10 an hour but gass now costs $3 per gallon.
