Thoughts:
- To have a change of this magnitude without advanced notice; unacceptable in my view. This is not a benefit to members, and is not a modest $10 or $20 change in fees.
- Some loosening of trading power requirements may soften the impact, for those with smaller or lock-off units.
- As others indicated, this was not well thought through IMHO. Those off-season weeks will not turn into exchanges as often. How multiple EPlus exchanges will be handled is unclear. Some compensation should be provided for trading down on size.
- It looks like previously purchased EPlus for confirmed exchanges might be grandfathered into the old rules.
- Value proposition for adding Gold or Platinum improves.
- I wonder if Vistana/Starwood and/or Marriott pushed this change onto II management, in order to improve the value proposition of their respective "points" programs where unit size matters.
