[2011] Marriott Custom House T/S Auction Today

[Beaglemom3]

Just an FYI here, after receiving my foreclosure deeds and recording them at the Suffolk County Courthouse, I sent both deeds, Marriott's transfer application filled out , a copy of my driver's license, the $25 x 2 payment to Marriott, etc. and guess what -
No one at Marriott's Owner Modification Dept. "knows what to do with this". Their words !

I have been turfed to several well-meaning advisors, but now it sits with "John", however, I cannot speak directly to "John" as he only speaks to the modification supervisors. Apparently, I'm not worthy.

I told them that if I lose my opportunity to redeem these for 2012 Rewards Points usage due to their incompetency, I will seek an exception. Yeh, sure.

Hi Beaglemom,

Classic case of incompetency! Nothing in business irritates me more than people who are in positions where they shouldn't be because they're incompetent. I feel your pain!

This sounds like good old Boston, "Where the Lowells talk only to the Cabots, and the Cabots talk only to God."

You'd think so, but it's Utah ! (Area code 801)....

I speak fluent Bostonian, so I am able to communicate with "my own" here, but understand the analogy to the Cabots & Lowells. Good one !

Despite what you were verbally told at the auction, I would be very surprised if your auction properties will actually include Marriott Reward Points.

There is another auction coming up on December 16, 2011, and they've made it clear that these auction villas will not include Marriott Reward Points in lieu of use.

I hope you get them please keep all of us updated.

Congrats. We need to get back to the Custom House. With our daughter's family in Portland, we usually stay with her when we are in the area. We still have such great memories of our time with you several years ago.

Janette,
I have great memories of you and our mini trip to Concord and the Shaker Village. You will always have an open invitation here. Would love to see you two again.
Please let me know if you want me to secure the CH for you. I'll see if I can (if I ever get the deed transfer straightened out with "John" ! - Ha !)

Upthread the OP said that the MRP values were spelled out in "the paper I'm holding." If she has it in writing then she has a pretty good chance of forcing Marriott to provide the benefit. She also explained that during the auction she attended there were three different types of contracts being sold. Is it possible that the MRP benefit transferred with only the certain type that she purchased, and that the upcoming Dec 16 auction doesn't include any of that type?

Beaglemom, I hope they get this all straightened out for you soon. Good luck.

I know that they will, however, it's strange that they're all so dumbfounded by their own auction. I was told that they have to call the CH and find out what to do ! No lie, I have it on my voicemail from an owner modification agent.



Yes, I did get that in writing before bidding and have confirming docs on that.

Which thread and/or OP are you referring to ? Me ?

Thanks !

Yes, you, in this thread where you explained the differences between what was being auctioned the day you purchased - the contracts for mortgage foreclosures and judicial and non-judicial foreclosures for non-payment of MF's. (OP means "Original Poster," "upthread" means earlier in this thread.)

There are several TUGgers who are quite familiar with the Marriott Resales and Owner Modification offices, Bocaboy comes to mind immediately. Maybe you could send him a message to ask if he has any suggestions to get your processing on track?

It's ridiculous, really, that you're having problems. Sometimes Marriott is very frustrating.

 

[Beaglemom3]

Everyone, thank you for your patience.


Yes, I did get my Rewards Points, but it was a hard push. Fortunately,
good folks at the CH (Mgr. Willie Ngada) came forward and verified that points were promised with that very first auction. It took a bit of time with several calls to the highest MVC levels, (Keith Kocarek- nice man and got this done after talking to CH Mgr. Ngada) but I prevailed. It was worth the struggle.


You will see different wording with all MVC sanctioned auctions re: points (none). They have cleared this up and fast.

Custom House

Hi Beaglemom3

I tried to send you a PM but it says your inbox is full so I thought I would post here.

I came across this thread about the 2 timeshares at Custom House. Nice deal!!

I am a Red Sox fan and was thinking of coming to Boston this July.

I was hoping you could give me some insight on getting a rental at Custom House.

Thanks so much.

Sean

Hi Sean,

Hi There,
Sorry about that. I have to get to that.

I am happy to help, however, rentals are expensive. I deposited my two units for Marriott Rewards points this year, so assist with any days. I am not an expert on renting Custom House or other Marriott units as I am just getting up to speed on the Marriott system. I can help with info on auctions, though.

There is a wealth of info on TUG re: Marriotts.

Do you have a timeshare that you can deposit into II (Intervale International) ? Marriott trades through II. Also, there are rentals here on Tug from time to time. Lastly, there are other resources, however, I'm off to work and will post later.

Hey while we're on the subject of the great city of Boston, how does an outsider get the best price on Redsox tickets? Stubhub? I'm looking for Yankee tickets so obviously I'm going to pay a premium but with that understood where is the best place to look?

 

[MOXJO7282]

Hi Sean,
I just sent you a PM.

This marks a first. My first rental through TUG. Not through an ad but through this thread.

Just saw this. I'll see what I can do. Please post what dates you'd be interested in.

Its my wife and I's 21st anniversary 8/16 so I have a weekend planned at the Custom House. My kids will be with us so I would need 4 tickets. That is a Friday night against the Yankees.

Appreciate any guidance you can offer.

THANKS AGAIN TUG!! My 2nd rental of some Custom House days just came through off of my TUG ad.

I've always religiously used Redweek but will definitely be putting more up in the free TUG classifieds.

They are requiring a deposit of $5000 to bid (per week!!)

Insane

Scroll down until you see the section for the Custom House:

The $5k certified check isn't necessarily the price of what a unit will sell for. It just qualifies one as an earnest bidder ( "earnest" money ). I brought my check with me in the Sept. 2011 auction and got 2 plats. at $4k each. If you buy a unit for less than the $5k, then you will receive the difference.

If you can go, just to observe the process, it is interesting and educational.

Do you know of any proxy services that can handle a purchase for someone unable to attend the auction?

Thanks,
Chris
