Gail, !) Yes penthouse units have a contract to be able to exchange via Interval Int'l or Intervalworld & can also trade via RCI (The. Registry Collection), pricy fees, but a choice. Other One bedrooms can trade with RCI. This is how it their participating contracts were set up. 2) You also suggest getting rid of some tiny other amenities. Please remember that a whole LOT of Other 'little amenities', have already disappeared, while penthouse fees have increased yearly at a Higher % rate, then all the other units. INCASE you forgot; the NYTimes was delivered daily, Slippers were with the robes, Bath toiletries were BB&B, Bath salts inc'd for the tub, Two passes available daily to either of 2 nearby fitness clubs (one with a pool), the Balconies were open daily (planned with refreshments), 2 conference rooms were available at very reasonable rates for penthouse owner to rent (they are now a smaller gym & computer center), The 'library' had bottled waters & pastries daily, I'm sure I can think of a few more. So, please don't advocate for less, especially when our fees won't go down because we receive less.
