I think part of the problem here is that their marketing ROI for membership perks get worse every year (until 2042) as membership grows. There are just too many of us!
When they only had a couple of resorts, member perks weren't that expensive, and the marketing value of those perks were relatively high. Using rough for the sake of illustration, if you give a perk to 25,000 original OKW members, but if helps you attract 18,000 new BWV members, that's not bad!
But if you have grown to 200,000 members by the time PVB opens, the cost of providing those perks has gone up 8x, and the marketing value that it generates probably hasn't: you're attracting about 18,000 new members to buy PVB. The monetary value is higher, thanks to higher-than-inflation price increases and steeper
point charts, but it isn't necessarily 8x higher, adjusting for inflation. And management isn't going to 8x the marketing budget! Likely, a more-or-less flat budget is being shared across an ever-growing membership base until it feels thin, stretched, like butter spread over too much bread. (Sorry for the LotR reference; can't stop, won't stop.)
I'm glad we get these perks, but I'm also very aware that
they already have my money, and the primary purpose of these perks is for them to be able to make videos and brochures enticing the next round of members, with a secondary goal of getting me to add on more points, or at least making me an enthusiastic brand ambassador for my friends and family. I'll take it!
