Someone OY who had been specifically watching summer 2012 broadly said that almost all of it disappeared overnight in this latest purge. I wonder if they are evacuating inventory to rentals in the run up to forcing everyone into Points Lite?
I have my best trader yet in RCI, a 2BR week that pulls 145,454 units over the next 2 years. I finally posted enogh to see the RCI exchange ops a few weeks back. Everything on ExOps I have looked for that I was interested in has been available to me, except for Manhattan Club. Why would I be able to see everything but Manhattan Club deposits?

As to your last question, there has always been quirky little things about trading power . . . like that.
As to the rest of your comments, we were once in the same position, able to see everything anyone else could, going back to 1999, and now we cannot see squat with the same deposits.

Wow!
Talk about decreased trading power!!!! Same week, one for 2010,
one for 2011. Keep in mind that the top one is only for 21 months.
Wow!

Mark,
Don't feel bad I have some very powerful traders that used to see but now cannot see Manhattan Club. I'm waiting to see how many $79 fees I'll have to cough up to "get" it and whether, if that fee is paid, the 1-in-4 will be waived.
It's all about the money. Everyone is in such an uproar about this and expect manna from heaven after implementation. I personally see it as a scheme to make more ($) with less (inventory) on Rent Condos Instead's part. I have been wrong before but that is my gut feeling on this.

I think you have probably hit the nail on the head.

I said that in the Enhancement thread.

This is my opening post for this thread, where I was concerned that the number on the top had toppled from the pre-5/30/09 figure of 170,000. It's amazing/frustrating that a company can just keep taking and taking.
Anyone getting more than they used to?:
Now that it's settled down, for those whose search window is the next 24 months, how many total exchanges are you seeing.
Here's ours:
[148,114]
[148,114]
[146,739]
[139,903]

I suggest always using that word in quotation marks - ''Enhancement''.
That term has become a standard Orwellian term of corporate-speak that in their usage means the opposite of what it would in normal usage. Just ask all the frequent flyers, for example, who have suffered through airline ff ''enhancements''.

1. To provide a new way of doing the same thing
2. To muddy the waters
3. To confuse, as if using smoke and mirrors
4. To tap into income heretofore untapped

and the answer is they can put them in reverse alphabetical order to try and confuse us but "it" wasn't there prior to the enhancement and it ain't there now.
