marriott vacation club

Hi All, I have been researching Marriott Vacation Club Points for a little bit now. I have been seeing many pros and cons of the programs, and one major con seems to be the yearly point fees. I was wondering if anyone with Marriott Vacation Club Points have experience 'renting' or 'selling' a...

I have managed to tour WorldMark, Vistana, Hilton, and Marriott in the last 2 months. This is for two reasons. First, my house is being upgraded and therefore I needed places to stay. And secondly, I needed to use my points. I was very curious how the timeshare presentations had changed from...

What is the best way to sell our two deeds? I called sellmytimeshare.com and they want $2000 up front. Then I called a broker from California and he said his fee was $3000 but only after we sell. I know I'm screwed no matter what we do, but what is the best way? Is Red Week any good? Or...

Looking for some advice. I’m considering buying into a legacy platinum week at Marriott Grande Vista. 3 bedroom every other year. Plan is to use 2 bedroom unit and exchange the lock off portion on II for use on my off years(I think I would be exchanging a studio?). Is this a good plan? Would...

Aloha! New member here, I have been browsing and really appreciate all the honest unbiased opinions! We just had an amazing trip at Marriott Vacation Club in Lahaina, Maui! We booked the week second hand at a great rate. My wife and I have 6 kids and it was the first time in a long time we...

Has anyone listened to an owner update to find out how the Marriott purchase of ILG will impact Vistana Flex moving forward? I'm curious since I'll be staying in a Vistana resort next week and I'm wondering what will be shared if I do an "owner update".

anybody else use a cruise certificate? If so any recommendations? We were “informed” at the original presentation and the follow up encore sales presentation that we would be able to book a 7 day cruise basic inside cabin guarantee with the certificate. After activiting the cert, using the...

I know the hotel is separate from the timeshare side. However, I wonder if this is promising for what MVC will do with Vistana - since there is coordination between the hotel and timeshare brands...

I just booked a reservation with my DC Trust Points. It is showing up in my Marriott Rewards hotel account. However, the reservation I booked with my post-2010 week does not show up in my MR Rewards account. Folks have said Marriott hotel and MVC are separate companies. So why do my DC Trust...

Hello, Has anyone that booked an Encore package with a cruise as the perk? How did the process work? What cruise line, ship and destination did you use the trip on? Did you upgrade cabin levels? If you went on NCL, were you able to upgrade through NCL bid process or did you have to go...

Does anyone think Marriott would ever combine Marriott Vacation Club with the Vistana timeshare program? They did it with Marriott and Ritz Carlton destination clubs. They are linking Marriott Rewards with the SPG points program. So I wonder if they might combine the StarOptions program with...

Has anyone done a deed transfer in St Kitts recently? If so, how long did it take? Any recommendations for good companies or lawyers to use for the closing and transfer process?

We have multiple enrolled weeks; trust points; and post-2010 private resale weeks. A friend with enrolled weeks states he received an email in 2011-2013 period allowing him to enroll post-2010 private resale weeks for a one-time fee (maybe $695?) He did enroll them and now all weeks are...

Hi All! This is my first time posting as I just registered. I've lurked for over a year and am to the point where some advice would be great. My wife and I are in our early thirties and are considering how we want to vacation for the next several decades. We have sat through 2 Marriott...

Greetings from MSE; Place is looking good. Today we played a relaxed afternoon 9 on Blue Heron. Tomorrow we'll visit Colonial Williamsburg with passes (haven't done that in about 20 years). And we are really looking forward to 18 on Blackheath (my favorite) Sunday morning and then on to Grand...

We returned last week from our third stay at Lakeshore Reserve. This was our first full week stay. One other being only a couple nights and the other being five nights. We had exchanged in to a dedicated 2BR unit. I had requested Messina prior to our visit but we ended up with a fourth floor in...

We will be staying at Newport Coast Villia-Marriott staring December 1. We fly into LAX on November 29th. Looking for ideas on things to do, places to see, somewhat cheaper places to sleep for those two days. Any thoughts ? We will have a rental car. Thank you.

Anywhere there now to give us an update on how it is looking? Marriott says it is "running normally", but of course, I'm a skeptic. Are all buildings completely opened? How's the indoor pool look (since its on a low spot)? Thanks!

[Re OceanWatch] $242 (17.13%) increase. The highest 1 yr increase I've personally ever seen. This is so disappointing. Not sure yet where the increase comes from but what could it possibly be to have an increase of that magnitude? Again another situation where we get no fore warning and it...

Good evening, I'm considering by a deed week (week 7) at Marriott Streamside. Any feedback on the property? we do love snowboarding but we never been to that particular property or area. Seems like week floats 1-14 and 50-52 so pretty much will cover all the good winter week. I read is a...
