Devaluation of Craig Lodges Tiers in DEX EU

[HuskerATL]

DEX EU increased the tier requirements by season for many properties but left Craig Lodges the same so, in essence, they have devalued Craig Lodges weeks. Here is a comparison of a sampling of the properties between last year's tiers and this years tiers by season.

This also applies to Gulf weeks that are eligible to participate in the DEX program.

2BR Platinum, 11,200 HGV points= Peak season in CL remains Tier 6; so NO devaluation for those.
1 BR Platinum, which was & remain Tier 4 are not as good a trader, so best move is to get 2 BR in place of 1 BR, and still all good...
2 BR Platinum also hits the sweet spot on MF/pt vs 1 BR Platinum, so def the way to go CL route....
Kudos to everyone, esp @HuskerATL to have DEX EU & CL fix the CL peak weeks in DEX EU!

yes, the Tier 6 weeks are looking better and better...especially if this trend continues.

But, if you look at other managed properties, they are still good for Tier 4 exchanges so it just depends on what you want to use. I would not want to exchange a Tier 6 for a Tier 4, you are downgrading. So, if you know that you are going to use Tier 6s, then it would be good to own a Tier 6 but if you are going to use a variety, a Tier 4 may still be better...and just pay the upgrade fee when you use a Tier 6.

Or own a Tier 4 AND a Tier 6 so you can optimize. That is what I do. Like potato chips can't have just one
