Something Odd Has Happened With my non-MVCI II Account

I recently signed up for the DC program and now have 2 II accounts (well I will when I get around to calling to set the DC one set up!). The old one has 3 banked weeks, so I will be using it for awhile.

Yesterday I accessed it to see what's in flex for our upcoming Aruba Surf Club trip to try to upgrade from the 1 bedroom to a 2 bedroom. Pickings are very slim this year compared to past years, however, that's not the oddity.

What's odd, is that I'm seeing all these 'lower end' timeshares that I never saw before. I'm wondering if they have changed the quality filter now that the account is no longer a Marriott account but an individual one.

Any thoughts on why I suddenly have all of these options I never had before?

I have noticed the same issues..low Marriott inventory and within the past 2 months many more lower end quality inventory is being seen when I search.

I own a Starwood ski week(non SVN aka corporate account) and until about a month ago I never saw some of these resorts either.
