Sounds like the VIP Check in racket they have going on at Grande Vista. You can't opt out and it is mainly a push to sign you up for an "educational owner update".
It depends on your salesperson at HH. Ours this time (who I have dealt with before) was low pressure as we told him we weren't interested in buying. I have had other sales people there who are more high pressure.
Seems a good approach at Sheraton & Westin resorts to potentially be an extra motivator for those enrolled owners to convert their week(s) for Abound points.
We were offered 400 plus points at Crystal Shores 2 weeks ago.

I wonder if this is the official name for the recently mentioned program or just something the marketing peeps made up?
Most owners they speak with can get 1.25 cents value per Bonvoy point!I hope this email finds you well, and that you had a great trip. Here at Marriott Vacation Club, we find that an educated owner is a happy owner, especially when we pay you to get your education in the comfort of your own home. Until 5/23, instead of the normal 25,000, I can award you 40,000 Bonvoy points (most owners I speak with value this around $500), or a $200 gift card for attending this virtual presentation from home. If you want a great update without using your precious vacation time, this is the best update I have seen in my 30 years with Marriott!
UPDATE: For the first time in over a year, I can offer you 400 Plus/timeshare points as a third option! (2-year expiration)

We received 500 plus points last week. 50 minute owners update at Westin Nanea. Pretty painless and low pressure compared to other times.
I actually got .008 cents per point and felt reasonably good about it. I could did find a deal a little over $1/ point, but the hotel was too far away from the airport to be useful.Most owners they speak with can get 1.25 cents value per Bonvoy point!
You’ll be the one to test this story out since you guys are the champions of the owners updates.
Well, we signed up for 500 Plus Points. Now we just need to see if they try to offer us anything at Ko'Olina.You’ll be the one to test this story out since you guys are the champions of the owners updates.
You can rent single use year points for 75 cents each. Using that metric, the 500 offered would have at least a $375 value in my book. Of course, the real value is in how you use them.
We received 400 plus points in April at Crystal Shores and 400 plus points in May at KoOlina for owner updates.
We were just told today that we couldn't accept PlusPoints for an Owner Update because we had already taken PlusPoints in 2025. So we had to go with the Bonvoy points. They don't seem all that consistent in how they are implementing this.
They pay me to go. Generally an hour or so of my time gets me a free night in a hotel room when I need one, or a round trip airline ticket if I convert the loyalty points.
