The site is very slow today. Took forever to log in and then it just sat there with a spinning wheel in the middle of the screen.
I have always had problems with booking weeks at SBP because we own so many that it times out after I choose a week I want to book. There is no way for me to choose a week then choose a date. The system is set up to look for available weeks with paid fees in the account, and it goes hunting for a week and times out before it matches an owned week to the reservation I need.
In Marriott's system for reservations, I can choose a specific week and then choose dates. It's slow, sure, but it works every time.
I remember way back when we first owned SBP weeks, we could choose a specific week to deposit. This was the same for SDO. As long as it was available to reserve, we could bank that specific week into II. Fast forward to today, and the combined trading power of SBP 9-43, 47 is not what we had when we could choose any week for deposit. I long for those days to come back.
Marriott weeks can be reserved and banked into II, either I can do it, or Marriot does it for me.
What will Marriott do in the future for SBP and SDO (and other voluntary resale weeks)? Will it be worse or better for us as owners. Will they allow us to deposit specific weeks into II because it's now Marriott, or will Marriott suffer a drastic change and go the way of Vistana for deposits?
