What proof do you have that DPs are being sold like hotcakes other than being forced upon existing owners to enroll or requal deeds?
I do buy the rental argument as a source of income. Are you saying they are not recirculating resale deeds back into the market at all?
Dioxide was going through county records and tracking additions to the trust. He can jump in but my conclusion is that ROFL weeks are added into the trust. I know that during COVID their sales suffered and laid off a bunch of salespeople and closed many of their offices, as with most businesses. Tug is only a small group of owners and their sales have picked up now that offices have been reopened for in person meetings.
There is no such thing as forcing upon existing owners to enrill or requal deeds. No one is forced. A sale by any other name is still a sale. I have friends who kept adding 3000 points to their ownership until they reached Chairman's Club level.
Also, MVC sells hybrid packages and based on my own experience, those weeks don't come from ROFR. As owners, they help us resell our weeks through their hybrid bundle. They have done for us 5 times when we wanted to divest but we backed out each time because we felt that we were not done with timesharing.
