I feel the opposite. One of the "selling points" of the 5 new bands in each category level is there will be fewer properties changing levels each year moving forward. My sense is they are going to reset the board in April so that moving forward they won't be moving them as much. I feel there will be a lot more properties moving up in category to set this up. I could see a lot of properties where currently most (or majority) of their available redemption nights are at the Peak level that they get bumped up to the next category so they don't "have to" move them up in a year or two. I hope I'm wrong, but based on what's transpired the last few months it's what I expect/dread.
