Thanks, I just emailed them.

Vistana ownership is only in my name while MVC is in both our names. Out of curiosity, I logged into my husband's MVC account and he is still Presidential "only".

Same with my husband’s account. The rep said once the launch happens, accounts should be updated.

Your husband may not qualify for the higher status since it is based on what you actually own and he doesn't actually own the Vistana VOIs.

Not sure of that but we shall see. The rep said our accounts should mirror each other since we are joint on both. He owns Vistana VOIs equally with me. I do not understand why you say he does not. When I got upgraded from Executive to Presidential, he got upgraded too. Up until now, I have only used his account and made all reservations through his account. Our accounts show the same data on both except my status says Chairman and his still says Presidential.

Ha ha LOL. My low BP gives me brain fog!

It sounds like our situations might be similar. Is your husband a joint owner with you or are you the only one who owns the Vistana VOIs.

I am the only one who owns Vistana VOIs.

Oh okay, now it makes sense.

If we only own Vistana, do I have a MVC account that was created?

I don't think so. At least not yet.

Someone posted a while back claiming that all Vistana owners had a MVC account number which sales folks could see. I have no idea if that’s true or not, but if it is, MVC has not communicated those numbers to owners (yet.)

it isn’t yet clear how Vistana owners will elect Abound points… will it be from the Vistana web site, or will we get MVC accounts and do it from the MVC website? Stay tuned, I imagine we will know more in a month.

Just found out today that if you click the “i” next to your status (for me it’s chairman’s club), there will be a pop up from the bottom and show the total points you owned. I am not sure if this includes the MVC ones because it’s a bit low compared to my estimation. Can any of you own both systems that can confirm?

Currently, on the MVC website, it lists my trust points and the weeks I own that I can elect points for. I am guessing they will add my Vistana week to this list so it will be easy to elect points. I could be wrong but that seems like the most logical and easiest way to do it. If they do it this way, it will encourage people to elect points.

If I have to go into my Vistana account to elect points, that would get messy. I only want to use Vistana when I am booking at my home resort or for using SOs.

It looks like on ours it includes our MVC and Vistana Abound Club Points. Total points showing is 7,650 which seems to match up with the points we get from our MVC ownership and what we have been told our Vistana ownerships will be worth.

Since it is the MVC app, I would fully expect it to include MVC ownerships.

Presumably this information is not available to those of us who only own Vistana.

I was a little surprised to see my OBL go to 5 star elite (from 4 star elite) since I thought the Vistana elite program was going away. Presumably at some point, maybe either October 1 or January 1, the new MVC OBLs will supersede the old Vistana program.

I own in both systems, clicked on the “i” and see points which total my Vistana and Marriott points. Seems the “i” total is correct for me, although I don’t see the breakdown for Vistana anywhere in the MVC app.

I beleive it is only available in the MVC app, so if you don't have Marriott ownership, you won't be able to see it.

As for the 5*, I think they are just updating data behind the scenes and haven't changed any programming in the apps. So the Visana app is just displaying your status based on the data that Marriott/Vistana are updating behind the scenes. The Vistana Elite levels will be changing/going away, but because they haven't reprogrammed the apps yet, this is why you still see the 4*, 5* statuses in the app.

I've got no star both my units are resale.

But my bonvoy app shows me as Gold Elite

I just check as well from my iPad. The amount of points associated with my existing MVC account went from 0 to 14250. I do own a unit in MVC but it is not enrolled.

 

[winger]

Are those mandatory and brought through resale?

What does 'mandatory' mean?

 

[dioxide45]

What does 'mandatory' mean?

It means participation of the VOI in VSN is required. The week comes with StarOptions even when purchased resale.

I did a recalc based on your tracker spreadsheet and it matches with the total points owned. I thought when elected, each week will get different points based on the "week owned", but apparently we only get a uniform point allotment based on "season". My WKORV week gets 6200 points (based on season) but it should be more if week number is used. That amount is not enough for Maui high season weeks. The skim is real
