I called MVC this morning at 9 and reserved a July 7th week at Barony and July 14th at OceanWatch by 9:05. Harbour Point is a fixed week 26 so I was able to reserve the other 2 weeks today. Hopefully, it will be easy to book my last week tomorrow 12 months in advance.



Good luck to all TUGgers trying to reserve their weeks.

Same here, reserving my one NVC last week in June, then Oceanwatch and Kauai July fourth, ending with my two other NVCs July 7 and 14th.

Reserving prime weeks does seem to be easier since the points program has emerged.

In the past have you always strung together reservations to reserve these weeks? It seems that you are actually booking the super prime weeks at the 13+2 or 3 mark.

I wonder why? Is it because you own so many weeks and haven't enrolled yet? With many weeks, people may have enrolled because of the cost savings alone. Just curious.

Could that make a difference?

I am an enrolled owner. Some years I have reserved 3 consecutive weeks and others just 2 weeks. I thought that it would be harder to reserve this year because of the Destination Club.

I reserved Grande Vista and Manor Club with no problem either. Manor Club was beginning to be impossible to get at 12 months out for July 4th week. My guess is that there aren't a lot of either in the points program since they've been built for a while.

HOW'D you do that?

How did you reserve July 7 2012 on May 30? Thats more than 13 months or did you reserve several weeks befor July 7th?

Still trying to sort out the DC points...

rudy,

I reserved June 30th, July 7th, and July 14th. Today is the day to call for June 30th using the 13 month reservation.

Had no trouble getting my 2 weeks at MMC for 2012 either. Same thing back in January getting my 4 weeks for BeachPlace starting Mid Feb. These are both sold out resorts so don't think the DC interfered with bookings.

I believe the DC Club has made it easier for everyone to book at their home resorts. No longer do you have to call Marriott to reserve the juiciest weeks only to turn around and drop them into I.I. for high trading power; hence those weeks are more available for home resort bookings.

I agree with this logic. I had no issue reserving July 4th at MFV even though I didn't call until later in the morning.

I think it's funny how quiet you all have been this weekend in reference to reminding each other to call at 9:00am on Monday.

BUT - Way to go Tuggers for being on top of things as usual. :clap:

P.S. - As soon as Tuggers start depositing those summer 2012 HHI weeks, maybe my trade will come through.

Yep, yep - I got my 13-month reservations for July 4 week at Mountainside.

At Mountainside July 4 week is just as busy/popular as Presidents Day ski week in February.

Interesting comment on MOU (and good for you).
