Occasionally there are first-hand reports to TUG of happenings at resorts that might affect the exchange/rental factors of certain time periods, as well as the enjoyment level of guests who wish to either participate in or avoid such happenings.

This Sticky post is a basic compilation of resorts/dates/events; related discussions in the forums can be found through the TUG Search function.

Please feel free to email/PM the moderator with comments/suggestions/additions, or, refer to this thread: Marriott Forum FAQ/Sticky discussions

Less worried about booking and more concerned about returns on rent far exceeding the MFs.

Any historical data on this for those weeks?

Slinger, that’s exactly what I did to reserve my Gold season week for the RBC Heritage golf at Grande Ocean in HH for next April 2020. Just putting the week up for rent now. Will report back when rented as to the success and value over MF.
