7VC Code Not Working at Aruba Surf Club for 2018 Reservations

[infamazz]

All,

Has anyone else had similar issues when trying to use the "7VC" owner's code?

I'm looking to book dates through the Marriott website for the Aruba Surf Club in March 2018, and I receive the message "The special rate you selected is not available for the dates you requested" when I enter ANY date range in 2018, not just in March. Any ideas? Does this discount rate only start applying to reservations in the next calendar year after a certain date in the preceding year?

I used the owner's code for 2 nights at the Surf Club in January 2017, which I booked back in Spring 2016, so I don't know why it's not applicable now. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, these discount codes always come with the caveat that it is subject to availability.
If the code is working for other dates and/or other resorts, it probably means that there is no discount availability on these dates.

Thanks! At least that would mean it's not part of a broader change in policy and might become applicable again over the coming months if demand softens.

I don't think it's a demand thing if you tried it for a bunch of weeks in 2018 and none of them allowed the discount. Maybe the resort isn't accepting the discount because it doesn't have trouble filling the rooms. I tried it with my 6VC discount and got the same response, no matter which days/months I tried it for. Yet when I tried using it for a random few days in March 2018 for Grande Vista, the discount code worked.
