Hi, I received an email from trading places informing me I have a bonus week with them. I signed in with my VRI user name and password. While looking at affiliated resorts my Holly Tree Resort was not listed as a resort with TPI. Is Holly
Tree still in VRI? Or TPI? I know it is affiliated with II. Just need to clarify where my week is at. I already exchanged this years week and it shows in my history.
Thank you for explanation. Just want to know where my week will go should I chose to exchange it next year?

TPI Rep did not choose to answer your inquiry of 2 months ago now, but the fact is that TPI has actually always been the "platform" operating (behind the scenes) for VRI's "VRI*ety" program anyhow (VRI*ety being the internal exchange program open to interval owners at VRI-managed resorts).

There was overt indication from VRI (a press release sent out to VRI-managed resort BoD's) some months ago that "changes were coming soon" (reportedly commencing in "the second quarter of 2016", to be precise). My assumption (it was just an assumption on my part) was that these "big changes" would essentially just be a "merging" of all the TPI and VRI"ety deposit inventory, making all of the inventory of both entities available to all members of both VRI*ety and TPI (unlike previously).
If correct, that's not a particularly huge or meaningful change (IMnsHO) --- but it would certainly explain what you are observing and reporting now. :shrug:
