I know this was covered when the issue originally came up, however I'm wondering if anything has changed. With Interval International my Hyatt Pinion Pointe week 22 2 BR worth 1880 points has a TDI of 135 and is a premier elite resort. However since they downgraded our trading power I only get credit for Premier resorts with TDI of 115-130. It seems that with a TDI of 135 and it being a Premier Resort, I should have access to resorts with a TDI 135-150. I know we had it easy before, but this really seems like an over correction. Has anyone heard anything about this?
 
I think it has nothing to do with TDI but you have 1880 points to trade for whatever you want according to a fixed point chart. You should see everything in the current and future inventory. Your only limitation is those Marriott / Vistana resorts in preference but I’m not sure if you have preference for other Hyatt resorts.

No Hyatt to Hyatt or Hyatt to Welk preference. Though there is a discounted Hyatt to Welk exchange fee. Hyatt (Heritage, former Residence Club resorts) is restricted from exchanging back in to other Hyatt (Heritage) resorts.

This issue is really not that they pegged the Priemer weeks at 135-150 to points, rather the points assigned to them. Previously I could get those TDI for 1400 points, now its 1950, a massive devaluation. They should have set it at 1800 or 1880. That would still be a 25% increase (or devaluation however you look at it).
