There are two reasons behind this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>What remains unchanged is the <em>cap<\/em>, not what an award night actually costs. For example, a Category-1 hotel costs 5,000 \/ 7,500 \/ 10,000 points for off-peak \/ standard \/ peak dates nowadays, which may be spread evenly throughout the year. After March 29th however, you may see the hotel cost 10,000 points or near for most of dates.<\/li><li>Note that there&#8217;s no cap for 2023 stays &#8211; if you have any potential stays in early 2023, at any property, make some speculative bookings now. On March 29th they could cost an arbitrary amount of points in theory &#8211; although to be fair I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;d be too far off initially at least.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that Points Advance bookings won&#8217;t lock in you bookings at the current price.
