Most properties that I checked won’t necessarily be more expensive

%100  but you think prices of their rooms will go up? Because if they value their points, 1point= 1cent then most properties are gone  be cheaper in the new program

0% chance that 1 point will be an average of 1 cent in a variable program.

My guess is ~0.55cpp.

Air France dynamic pricing is usually better than it was with the award chart.

CIIW, but this is how I see it: Medium category properties are less likely to be more expensive as they weren't such a great Pts:$ value to begin with. It's the properties that the owners charge a higher $ price but Marriott considers a lower category (like most Residence Inns) that are more likely to be more expensive in points after the change.

And also some of the higher end ones, that people chapped for a good rate:
Quote from: DDMS
Aspiratonal Marriott properties will surely become unaffordable when using points.
