The TPU for last year’s week fell from the usual 40-41 range to 33. That’s why we were outraged and rented it. There was no reason for the drop. It was long before anyone had heard of Covid-19 so it has nothing to do with that. If you want to trade into Maui you’re looking at 40-60 TPU so the reduction was illogical. We get 33 for our Kona unit, which is none too much, but Maui is always in greater demand and gets higher TPU.
At this point in time, I understand why they’re only offering 26. If a week deposited a year out was only getting 33, then a week deposited five months out is only going to get 26. But it’s such a pitiful amount for Maui I hate to give them the week. Considering we have few options I suppose I may have to this one time, but never again. I haven’t used SFX in years. I wasn’t impressed with them. Trading Places Maui is mostly useful if trading back into the resort for a different season. I know little about DAE. I thought they had been bought out and absorbed into one of the bigger companies, but I may be wrong.
