You can buy them through Dan's way for $70 for 10k points, so an 80k signup bonus would make it worth around $560, and you can get a lot more value than that if you use it during pointsbreak promotions and other high end hotels.

You can never get more value than the points cost on the market, which in this case is .7c/p. You can certainly find hotel deals where using points is more lucrative than paying cash, but a points break night is still worth only $35.

Agreed, hence 80k points is only worth around $560.

???
30K UR would sell for about $450, but 30K UR could also be used for a $1000 night at PHP. How can the value of points only be what you could sell it for?

Value of points is what you can buy them for when talking about a credit card bonus. If I can get 80k points for opening up the IHG card vs. paying $560 for that same amount, the bonus is worth $560.

Not sure I agree with that. I think that could be YOUR value, but I think a lot of people value points as what they could get for them.

For me it would really matter if I'm looking to sell the points /hotel stay (then I'd take into account how much it would cost to acquire them) vs. if I'm looking to acquire them through purchase, sign up bonus whatever (then I'd care about the value I'd get out of it)

Oh, my bad! I'll re-update the wiki with the old link. I'm sure it's being discussed on FT.

Points will post even if you have no closing balance as long as you did minimum spend.
