This is in line with what I was expecting, and I think it is fascinating that Dean was able to enroll 7.5 weeks by purchasing a 3BR -- which is a great week to have in its own right. I will be curious to monitor future programs too, and I think we will start to see promotions focused on the Starwood owners to entice them to buy Trust Points. Interesting stuff.

Best,

Greg
