Just reviewed all the bookings I have and here are the changes:

Property	Old	New	Change
Hyatt Regency (4N)	80k	80k	0%
Andaz Mexico City (5N)	90k	100k	+11.1%
Hyatt Regency LAX (1N)	12k	12k	0%
Andaz Tokyo (3N)	105k	105k	0%
Alila Mayakoba (6N)	166k	200k	+20.5%
Rio Las Vegas (4N)	51k	50k	-2.0%

At first glance it isn't as huge/bad of an immediate devaluation as I expected, and I slightly regret transferring Bilt points last night after learning about EDC 2027 W2 and wanting to lock in the hotel and Ultimate Rewards was down.

However, it is certain that over time most hotels will creep towards the peak rate more and it will be a less visible devaluation.

Manage to spend 240k points after the deval announcement, and this is a great reminder to always burn points instead of hoarding a ton as they do not grow like cash / equity but always deval!

I’ve been eyeing GH Indian wells for next year’s Coachella after a very pleasant experience this year.

Had been checking daily since late March and there was no availability for that property at all.

A couple days ago some cash rooms became available but nothing bookable with points (regular room or suite) while every other non standard room type is available.

Is it possible that they’re holding the award release until after the devaluation?
