I have been billed correctly for Abound club dues. Btw got the bill by slo-mail, but Marriott site always erred when trying to pay online.
Anyway, I have 2 concurrent options reservations in January, made with banked 2022 options. One of them, pre-Abound required additional housekeeping fee.
1. Will the new all-in-one fee cover the housekeeping fee?
2. Will I get charged for guest cert if I put one of the reservations in my friend's name in January before we arrive?
I wonder if the website logic is robust enough to check the year source of the options on the reservation.
I think housekeeping charges once applied to reservation will be sent on to the resort. I'll have to call CS on that one in January.
Here's an update after a couple of calls each to Marriott and Vistana CS.
I only own Vistana, but called Marriott since the club fee payment re-directs to Marriott website which errors.
Marriott CS says they don't have any access to Vistana customer records (huh, whatever happened to integration??),
so forwarded me to Vistana, which happened to be closed for the night. I call Vistana CS this morning,
pay my club dues, and got an email with the Marriott owner #, yay! That was the only thing I saw with that owner ID
after paying my MFs and looking only over my Vistana account etc.
So with the Marriott owner ID, my husband's btw, I was able to set up a marriottvacationclub.com account and have it tied to our
Vistana accounts(?) Seems that there is only one owner ID, in husband's name, even tho' I am on the deeds too and
have my own Vistana login. There wasn't much available to see on the owners.marriottvacationclub.com site.
I'm hoping that later we can use this account to rent club points.
I asked Vistana CS about club fee covering guest certificate and housekeeping for January reserved stays.
She said I could add my friend's name to reservation in January without charge.
However will still be charged housekeeping because I made the reservations in 2022. Only reservations made in 2023
and later will not be charged housekeeping. Sounds pretty hokey, because what if you had a lot of 2023 options, and made
more 2023 reservations than housekeeping unit allotment? You'd still have to pay housekeeping for 2023 options even with new 2023 club fee, because you made reservations in 2022?? That's not my situation, and I'm okay with paying housekeeping because I was
using banked options. But would be pretty annoyed if I was using 2023 options.
