So on Friday, we will all call and demand our trading power back, or we want our weeks returned to us from their system. It is all we can do, and perhaps we can change things, if we all insist at once that our trading power has dropped significantly.
The one thing I want to warn you about is about complaining about the DVC availability. I know it is disappointing that DVC is gone to us, possibly, but if you bring it up, and I have already noticed this with my three calls to RCI in the past few days, they will just say, "DVC was never there, these were weeks that appeared to be there, but they weren't, so you aren't going to see DVC anymore because we have given them all out on to ongoing searches."
It's not true, I am sure, but I think they are going to give DVC to only very high quality resorts with very prime weeks. I think there will be an upper echelon of trader that will get them. Maybe that was what this upgrade was all about, and maybe that is why Hawaii is essentially now impossible to get, unless you want a studio or 1 bedroom at some non-rated resort. That is what is making me angry.
I believe my weeks 27 and 28 at Foxrun are still sitting in their system, they were there before the enhancements, but when I have used my previous supertrader Val Chatelle summer weeks, I cannot pull summer 2010 at Foxrun. So none of my weeks has the power to see what I deposited, and they were all equal before?
I used to see over 17K in Florida, now I see 14,500 or so.
I could see over 6K in Orlando, now it's 5K.
I saw over 500 every single day in Hawaii, with some earlier 2009 availability in the 1,000 range. Many days there were 720 or so, including the week before the "enhancements," when I could see a few Hilton Hawaiian Village Kalia and Lagoon Towers.
Now I see 85 weeks, with half of them for this month.
