Here's the new definition for Luxury Property in the documentation: "Luxury Property means any Accommodation that is located in a Ritz-Carlton Club, or is otherwise designated a “Luxury Property” by the Exchange Company in its sole discretion."
Here's my take on the four bullet points that follow the new definition:
1) The wait list verbiage states: "Wait list requests for Luxury Property, other than Accommodations located in The Ritz-Carlton Club, Vail, will not be accepted prior to six (6) months in advance of the first day of a given Use Period; Exchange Company may accept wait list requests for all other Accommodations twelve (12) months in advance of the first day of a given Use Period." It appears the six-month limitation applies only to the MVW-defined luxury properties (other than Vail RCC). All other properties in the system have a wait list option at 12 months.
2) The verbiage about the Advanced Priority Reservation applies only to Standard level owners. The documents define an Advanced Priority Reservation this way: "Advance Priority Reservations may be made by Standard Owners who were granted the right to make an Advance Priority Reservation by Program Manager in exchange for the number of Points for Use required for the exercise of such right. The number of Points required to reserve a Use Period with an Advance Priority Reservation may be up to twenty-five percent (25%) greater than the number of Points that would otherwise be required to reserve the same Use Period." This indicates that Standard Owners cannot use this option with MVW-defined luxury properties (again with the exception of the RCC in Vail).
3)The third bullet point verbiage indicates that Standard Owners have the option of making reservations at all the remaining MVW-defined luxury properties at the six-month mark. I believe this is the most significant change, opening the way for non-premier/premier-plus owners to have access to ALL the luxury properties. Note that the wait list limitation in the first bulletin point also places all owners on the same footing when it comes to wait list requests.
4) The final bullet point gives MVW the option (as always in their discretion) to withhold up to 50% of their luxury property inventory until six months before the Use Period begins.
You TUG experts can correct any mistakes I may have made in my research.
