If they did they would probably pitch it as buying into a 401-L (L for lawncare)!
We can already exchange StarOptions for cruises and resort credit. Maybe they will now allow you to exchange for lawn care and housekeeping??

Will Marriott do my yard work while I'm vacationing at a Vistana resort as part of the integration? I hadn't seen anything on that possibility yet....

;)
That's another thing that disappeared with the pandemic and there's been no word when it might return. ;)

We have a fairly large townhouse now, and it is wonderful for travel. We can basically just close the door and leave. We are in the process of getting a house built. I’m going to try and keep it as low of maintenance yard as I can, but it will still be not as easy as the townhouse to leave for an extended trip.

Right! You are in Colorado as well. We are keeping our house partly because it's paid off and we are fixing the yard to be easier to maintain. The neighbor boy will mow while we are on Kauai for nearly 3 weeks. That works for now. But artificial grass may be in our future. Rick has considered it a long time, and it may be one answer. We have .4 of an acre. The yard is huge. I think we should rubber bark mulch the entire back 1/2, but he is against that idea. He wants to put in a pond with a filter that will be good enough to keep it clean (but no fish).

No one seems to have any new information for us on the merger, and I guess there isn't much to say anymore about Vistana/ Marriott. I guess we did go off on a tangent for a bit.

We're here reading. It's a speculation thread; it ebbs and flows with whatever new info might come from Marriott's and/or Vistana's sales reps and other sources. During the interims there might be some silliness, which I understand some people post just for fun and others just to keep the thread handy so that as new info surfaces, new duplicate speculation threads aren't opened.

When the details of the integration are finally released and there is official information that can be relied upon and dissected for its actual impact on our ownerships, this speculation thread will be closed. :)

I signed up to be notified when new postings are made because I was interested in new information. Not silliness about lawn care etc. I will stop the notifications so as not to be bothered. Not sure Denise would agree with you???

I would just turn off notifications but have it setup so you are watching the thread. That way you can see if there are at least new posts when you are looking at your Watched Threads on the forum. I am not sure it is about who agrees or disagrees. This is just how some threads go. No harm in it.

Sorry, we were talking about extended vacations and the issues they cause. We should have started another thread. That is kind of what happens sometimes.

Nothing else to say on Vistana/ Marirott merger for now. I sure hope we get some new information. There are so many people saying June. They said March and March came and went without any kind of information that was new or helpful.

I was not sure why people said March. Was there any signage in the resorts before March? Now there is signage and they are officially in soft launch. So this is why I believe June. I have been told June by several sales teams. I have read June on TUG. I will be surprised and disappointed if nothing is officially announced in June.

March 23rd was the date the new signage showed up at the resorts and in the sales offices.

I was there at Westin Ka'anapali North when the sign appeared.

The signage says the same as now but no date for a hard launch. Was there signage saying the hard launch was supposed to start in March?

No signage about a hard launch. The soft launch was the signage.
