My concern is it would go to 90%. The assumption is on Blue card members could buy into the "premier" program, however if the vast majority do, they will not be able to honor 90% of the requests. With a $100-$200 fee, a large number of Blue carder will join, and now that they are "paying" for room requests, more will make special requests. Today, I rarely make a request, if I was paying into this system, I would almost always make a request. This will be like
Genie+, with everyone paying the extra $30, the benefit is diluted and they still will only be able to fill 30%-40% of the requests.
And now, I paid for a "preferred" room and didn't get it..... and some white card member that didn't pay into the premier program got a room I like better, or is no different than mine.
I think they would be inviting all the entitled folks to be upset. (I avoided using the K name as to not offend anyone)
