This one went a little differently. Instead of being a hard sell, the SP asked me lots of questions. I think he looked at my portfolio and was trying to figure out how to pitch me. He asked me to tell him about my Maui resale purchases and my points resale purposes. I walked him through my resale calculator as well. He did a lot of, “now let’s assume you were in my position, what would you tell a prospective buyer?” A lot of questions along that line. I ended up doing most of the talking during the meeting.
I didn’t really learn anything new during this meeting but here are a few tidbits.
Price went up to $14.10 as of 10/30/2018. Current price is now $14.26
They are offering a 25% discount on the purchase of 3000+ points because of their 35th anniversary.
They still offer bundles/hybrid purchases but says they will stop once the integration with the other brands are complete.
Supposedly Chairman will go up to 25,000 points. I told them there was no incentive to buy up to Chairman. The value isn’t there. They harped on it 4-5 times but could not give me an answer on value.
I was shown an old 2013/2014 document that showed percentage of rooms booked with points. Lowest was 44%. And highest I saw was 92% at Marco Island.
And that was it.
