What effect has the new award chart had on the value of Wyndham points?

Pointify is tracking this award chart for the points-and-miles community.

Until recently, Wyndham charged 7.5K, 15K, or 30K per night for its hotels, making it one of the few chains that still has fixed prices, with no peak or off-peak adjustments. Last month, the company enacted significant changes to that chart, adding a new 45K tier while dropping the existing 7.5K tier down to 5K. […] Frequent Miler may receive compensation from CHASE. American Express, Capital One, or other partners.
