NO ... I think Extra Holidays is renting MORE units to bring in MORE sales prospects. And regular owners are booking more stays earlier as the economy is also getting better.

Resort specials with the discounts were working against sales as many persons would just book extended stays using those discounted point value without upgrading to VIP in the lower demand areas & times.

15% discounts up to 40% discounts ... resale buyers could do extended stays. Also, with the Megarenter companies ...their discounts were superior to the Extra Holiday offers as they included the unit upgrades.

I can see that some of discounts they had before, they probably don't need to offer - for instance, I think I saved 25% on points a couple of years ago at Bonnet Creek in January during marathon weekend. I could see that drying up. I'm just surprised at this point to see no discounts for Myrtle Beach in March, which I suspect would need a lot more help to fill the units. Admittedly, the points are already pretty cheap for our week which is why we'll go either way. Maybe if they ever do update the few discounts they have, MB will be on there.
