I can only see this as being relatively minor. Tweaks around the edges. For a globalist, you get an extra, even if relatively small, award at 40 nights, two of our TSUs are given a little earlier (which I think could be useful in providing a little more advance to secure a suite), but we are expected to stay 5 more nights for renewal.
For me, the CC is providing me with so many nights (probably about 30 next year), that this "clawback" is a big yawn. For non-US globalists, all I can say is I don't know why you want to play the WoH game anyways. If the extra 5 nights are so hard to obtain, then surely the 55 nights are already too brutal that you must be insane for trying.
