Thanks for Feedback
Thanks Barndweller for the feedback. It's very helpful to hear of your actual exchanges, which I must say were not too shabby at all!!
I did call II today and discovered GMarine is right, Desert Breezes is longer rated 5 star. It's listed in the TUG review section as 5 star so I guess that has not been updated yet. It seems II has also changed their model for assigning trading power and now use a "Travel Demand Index," which seems to be based on supply and demand, similar to RCI's formula.
The II rep said if I give them a very high demand week, like a major holiday or event, it will trade better. What week did you use Barndweller?
