So seasons have changed....at AKV I see that Value Studios in the first couple weeks of September are as low as 7 points. I'll take that. If it's just moving around of seasons then it may make sense.

I saw that. I can't believe how low that is. The sad thing is that's when we like to go.. meaning it's going to be harder to snag a value room during that time.
Of course, it was already impossible to reserve Value Studios at AKV anyway. DID THEY REALLY HAVE TO LOWER THE COST OF VALUE STUDIOS TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO USE THEM?So seasons have changed....at AKV I see that Value Studios in the first couple weeks of September are as low as 7 points.

Looks like they slightly increased Club level so those two categories would have been used to offset each other.Of course, it was already impossible to reserve Value Studios at AKV anyway. DID THEY REALLY HAVE TO LOWER THE COST OF VALUE STUDIOS TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO USE THEM?
Make no mistake about it. THE LOWERING OF THE COST OF VALUE STUDIOS IN SEPTEMBER TO 7 POINTS PER DAY IS ENTIRELY, 100% A PROMOTIONAL 'SALES' MOVE. Period.
This also makes me suspicious of whether they are really making any attempt at all to balance the point, taking certain amounts from some seasons and transferring them to other season. ARE THE TOTAL POINTS REMAINING THE SAME, when you factor in the number of days in each season, the number of rooms of all kinds, that are available, and the point cost for those rooms. DOES EVERYTHING BALANCE?

I am confused as BWV looks like everything went up or stayed the same for 2BR? It looks like the total points will have been increased.
Maybe I am missing something though.
Edit: Well everything except Sept 1-19 which I can't see making up the difference for the rest.
