I agree. I own one week (a 2BR lockoff at Desert Villas 2, white (Gold) season). I have owned this since 2004. Usually we lock off the unit, and I have gotten good exchanges. In the past, I could often get a 2BR for the 1BR portion, a 1BR in exchange for the studio, and sometimes even a 2BR in exchange for the studio portion.
If I sign up under the new program, I get 2150 points. I won't be able to do nearly as well with 2150 points as I did with the program in the past.
There are multiple threads on TUG that discuss the new program. If you try to read them, you'll be very busy. The main thread went well over 1,000 posts a few days ago.
