My point allocations were changed for existing reservations this afternoon as well. This effects a couple of reservations I'm very likely to cancel for this year due to travel conditions, resulting in a net of about 110K that will no longer return as developer points, but instead as resale points. This might all come out in the wash depending on how they allocate the complimentary VIP-eligible points for next use year, but it's fairly predictable that the folks they are doing this to are the types of folks that will check this things when they first get the chance to. I'm not planning on doing anything to the reservations I've got until things sort themselves out and will reserve judgement until the complimentary points show up, but must admit that I'm a bit annoyed with them right now. Given the functionality (or lack thereof) of the site, I don't believe I can get accurate information from it anyway since the transaction details in the benefits summary page do not match the transaction details in the points summary page - that would be another item for feedback,
@HitchHiker71, those numbers should match if they are really drawing from the same underlying back end databases. It's a bit more annoying because I did what I could to figure out where things stood when the site came up initially, and the information on the two pages matched, but the latest changes have resulted in them not matching. It's not that I don't fundamentally trust them (
), but this whole bunch of shenanigans with the system and the poor communications on what the rules really are have resulted in serious straining of what little trust I had left. I still don't think it will change my usage in any major way in the long run, but they do give the impression that they really need to get their collective act together.
