I’ll be staying at the Marriott Marquis in NYC on Times Square soon for a work trip. To my surprise, I got a phone call and email from a Marriott Marquis Pulse MVCI vacation representative? The email and rep clearly indicated MVCI Pulse Marquis and not the existing MVCI NYC Strand property. Anyone else experience this? Wondering if MVCI just has a sales office in the Marquis now or if this is foreshadowing it being added to MVCI Pulse collection? Thoughts?

I haven’t heard anything about this but stayed at the NYC Pulse property on 37th St about 8 weeks ago. It could be true but the Marriott Marquis is one of the premier hotel properties that Marriott has so I don’t know what the incentive would be to turn part of it into a MVC Pulse. But you never know.

Not sure about Marriott, but I know HGV has desks with concierges in various Hilton hotels, particularly cites with a HGV location. A few years back we were staying at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, and the had a desk there to schedule sales presentation at the HVC NY sales center. I would not be surprised to discover that MVC is doing similar at premier Marriott locations.

I suspect the Pulse sales office was prospecting among Marquis guests, and perhaps they even have reps at the Marquis hotel. I would interpret the title of "Pulse MVCI vacation representative" as someone trying to generate sales presentations for the Pulse sales office.

Yes. That is how I interpret it. MVCI sales/marketing push...using select Marquis guests.

It just caught me off guard to get a phone call (I didn't answer) and an email since my reservation was at a Marriott hotel.

The official title in the email is:

Regional Marketing Executive and Vacation Specialist
Marriott’s Pulse Marquis

Below is the MVC Welcome Desk at the NYC Marriott Marquis at Times Square.

Also, I snuck a quick photo of the MVC Pulse via Stand Hotel while on my Uber ride to the Marquis.
