Of course. I love owning Marriott and Vistana. Regarding the question of Canyon Villas, owners of platinum 2BR week get 2,950 DC points.Generous? I see that Marriott's Canyon Villas in Phoenix is about the same valuation. The chart shows it costs 4,175 DP to trade to a 2-bed during its highest season. I've been to this resort and given the choice I would rather go to WKV (especially considering the recent access rights limitations to the JW pool area). Even so, this means that Marriott is equating MCV with WKV. Does that mean 4050 DPs is generous? It just seems it's what they've already allocated for a week in the Phoenix area. But I should ask the question - how many DPs does a premium 2-bed week at MCV have for use? Is it the same 4050 as they are offering WKV?
Harbour Club at Harbour Town is 1,725 for a 2-bed per week. While I don't currently see April weeks available in II for this resort in exchange for my SDO, I do see other months. So, it's not inconceivable that this resort can be reserved for an affordable price by simply using II. Of course, 1,725:4,050 would be a similar cost to a 1-bed SDO with exchange fees. So all things being equal, with no enrollment fee, I would agree this would be a good use of the DPs, as long as that wasn't a year you wanted to go to Hawaii using SOs.
It sounds like you fit the profile for a good Marriott DP customer.
I am not referring to Harbour Club. I would not stay at Harbour Club. Heritage Club requires 1,950 DC points to book in April. The 10 rounds of free golf is worth $1K as 3 of us play golf during the week.
