Deeded weeks are different from points. How are "deeded weeks" treated differently from "deeded points"? I don't think there are deeded points unless the points are for the entire MVC points Abound program which is different from "deeded weeks" which are deeded in fact with actual deeds recorded in the county where the actual physical buildings are located.
Points are part of a program, therefore the sales person is incorrect as to anything "deeded", and I don't think any sales person can guarantee anyone that the day they buy into a points based program such as Abound that the points chart will remain the same at times going forward. Deeded properties, no matter whether they are for 1 week or more, are a specific real estate definition. We purchased our "deeded week" with an actual deed in Maricopa Arizona in 2002. We have never elected to be part of the Abounds therefore when you buy our deeded week, versus buying part of a points program, you get a deed for an actual physical location. Points programs are not specific for the location
I'm not sure why you chimed in here; of course deeded weeks are different than points. The "how are they treated differently" is answered as follows:
1) deeded weeks, when sold, are not eligible to participate in the Abound program. Meaning that they cannot be enrolled. Which means that Club Points cannot be elected in lieu of occupancy for that resale deeded week. Someone who owns a resale deeded week can use that week, pay for their own II account and exchange that deeded week, or that person can purchase MVC Trust Points from MVC to make that deeded week eligible to enroll in the Abound program. That is an expensive option.
2) MVC Trust Points are indeed "deeded." MVC Trust Points are considered a legal interest in real property and the deeds to the Beneficial Interests owned are recorded in Orange County, FL. When you own MVC Trust Points you do indeed have a deed. The MVC Trust owns the underlying weeks in the Trust. So, for example, the MVC Trust owns deeded weeks in Arizona, Florida, California, South Carolina, Florida, etc etc. Those deeds are just like the same deeds that you own for your week in Arizona. When someone owns MVC Trust Points, it is still an ownership reflected by the deed, it is simply that the deed refers to Beneficial Interests in the Trust and not in a specific location.
The question posed by the OP reflects that they don't understand how the Club Points program works. The point values don't change. I am not sure you understand how the MVC Trust Point program works either. The points chart that depicts the point "cost" to book reservations where the Trust owns or for the weeks that end up in the Trust because some enrolled deeded week owner has elected Club Points in lieu of occupancy, do not change on an overall basis. So long as the quantity of units at the resort in question remains the same, then the total points required to book all of that inventory will not change. It has been the same since the Point program debuted in 2010. A property can and does indeed adjust points required for bookings to account for floating holidays, like Easter, but the overall point value doesn't change. If one night is adjusted upward by 100 Club Points, then another night it adjusted down by 100 points. It is called a zero sum change.
That static point value also applies to the deeded weeks that folks own. As an example, my Newport Coast week can be elected for 2700 Club Points. That will never change so long as I retain eligibility for my Newport week to be exchanged into the Trust. If someone buys a Newport Coast week resale, they are ineligible to elect Club Points, absent them buying additional (ie new to them) MVC Trust Points from MVC. If someone bought Newport resale, and then bought approximately 2500 MVC Trust Points from MVC, then that would result in them obtaining the right to enroll that resale week. If is it the same season at Newport as my week is, then they'd be eligible to elect 2700 Club Points. That number does not change. [edited to add -- the number does not change so long as the resort maintains the accommodations and facilities at the level determined at the time the point values were assigned. If, in my example, Newport Coast failed to meet the required standards, then the point value could be adjusted by corporate, but that adjustment would apply to all, not just to one single owner, and the adjustment must still be reasonable and not arbitrary and capricious.]
When someone purchases MVC Trust Points resale, they must pay $3/point with a minimum fee of $3K and then their resale MVC Trust Points will work just the same as the Trust Points purchased directly from MVC.
