RCI points 6500?

I've only been an RCI member for about 7 years now and I was wondering if anyone could answer this question.

Why has RCI reduced the last minute 9000 exchanges of yesteryear to 6500 points now? What is their motive? I know it's probably money but how does this benefit them? Is it because you can get more exchanges now?

I have a 25K points package unless I do PFD which I do every now and then.

I'm thinking that with 25K points I can only do barely 3 exchanges a year at 9000 points but at 6500 points I can do almost 4.

Is this the reason why RCI has lowered the point requirements?

It makes you feel like you have to use all those points. Is this some psychological game or am I just paranoid?

9K is the max you will pay for a last minute week. They charge you the lowest amount charged for any week of the year at that resort or 9K, whichever is lower.
