Maybe. I NEVER give them that week anymore. My own little sob story about TPU lite. I rent the unit for ~ 30% more than MF and have for at least 5 years now. It is a great example for what doesn't work anymore though.

I only found it on the Platinum Benefits page. Are you seeing it elsewhere?

Yes, seeing it on deposit page. My picture is know loaded above. That orange banner is hard to miss.

I just tried to deposit a Week 10, 2016, and it asked if I wanted to restore trading power. $69.

It would not Copy and Paste.

You have already lost Deposit Trading Power!
Your deposit's start date is approaching, but it's not too late to receive the maximum Deposit Trading Power available!

Do you want to receive the maximum Deposit Trading Power available for this deposit? *
Yes, restore to maximum Deposit Trading Power for USD 69.00
(View Deposit Restore Guidelines)
No, do not restore to the maximum Deposit Trading Power.

1. $$$

2. Allows more exchanges . . . trying to get rid of weeks not being taken.

I am glad I am done with the RCI numbers racket and rental machine. The grass is so much greener on the SFX / DAE / UKRE side!

Interesting.
I think it's a nice perk.
You don't have to do it but it makes those otherwise useless late deposits valuable again.

This can work nicely with some of my summer weeks with CMV.
I wasn't getting good TPU's and II was restricting the late deposits too much with Flexchange.
I think I will find use for this "perk".

Seriously, nobody else finds this a good thing?

You're right---this is a very nice deal for CMV UDI owners.

I don't see that it's been mentioned, but you are right. It is RCI that decides to reduce trading power to encourage earlier deposit, and no one bats an eyelash about it.

Then they turn around and give subscribers the privilege of restoring what they have taken away, for a fee, and no one bats an eyelash about it. Some even tout it as being a great deal.

If trading power had never been reduced, it would not have to be restored, and if reducing trading power was only about encouraging earlier deposit, they would not allow it to be restored.

Unless someone, somewhere, woke up on morning and said, "Ah hah! We can probably get $69 for undoing what we did.

Same as deposits expiring. If there really is a reason for them to expire, then they should expire. But, someone, somewhere, woke up one morning and said, "Ah hah! We can charge to undo what we have done."

Set a policy, then charge to undo the policy.
