I posted a separate thread about the insurance before I noted the discussion on this one, but I think it would be good to keep all the info. on the insurance in an insurance thread anyway, since it is an imp. issue.

Stuff happens, and for $119 a year it's a great benefit.

Back to the NYC properties- nice add-on, but I wonder how even the rack rates compare to the MF's alone for these point requirements.

It doesn't compare that well with the rack rates IMO. A standard room is $499 this weekend at the Marquis. At the MF for trust points at .44 that would be $616 for the same room. In mid January it's worse as the rack rate is $359 for a standard room. If you're Plat you will almost always get a room upgrade at the Marquis if they have one available.
