Hello Tugg experts.

I am trying to enroll 3 weeks via purchasing a Spain week. My last resale a 3 bedroom gold seafront week at Playa Andalusia has not been transferred yet. I was told it cannot be in the contract but they can delay closing so that it can be added. Has anyone gone thru this?

They made me a similar offer before, delay closing so that I can get a resale week through. I wasn't interested in buying from them so it was a moot point. Make sure that they document all of these before both sides sign off on the purchase.

I am apprehensive and don’t think I will do it unless I see that it’s been done before and the transfer was added. Not sure where they would document it as it cannot be on the contract.

It has to be stated on the contract or an addendum and signed by all parties, as word of mouth is worthless.

I've been told the same by a trusted contact in the past. I think the limitation was 180 days IIRC. Something he said a few months ago made me think this was less of an option but if it's in the contract and you haven't closed, worst case scenario is you just cancel the agreement.

It will not be in the contract so i refused the deal. He said they would make an addendum to include the 3rd resale when it got into my account.
The price was to enroll 3 weeks and I was not going to do it without the 3rd resale.

I agree with you. The addendum needs to be made now and not later. There is nothing to stop them from denying ever indicating that they would add the addendum to include the 3rd resale after it got into your account.

That cannot be done either . So I passed on the sale.

I did this when I enrolled a bunch of weeks with Dean's contact at Aruba. There was no addendum but he did verify it in an email to me.

He explained that there was no way to add it to contract back then but assured me it would be done. Dean assured me his contact is straight shooter. With those assurances and an email that said week would be enrolled I went ahead with deal.

Everything went as gentleman promised and I am very happy. Everything went as he said, even though it took longer for my last resale week to be added to my account. When my resale week was finally added to my account, I emailed him and it was enrolled in a week.

Gentleman at Aruba is a straight shooter and I would not hesitate to do business with him again. He is definitely a very rare person in this field of timeshare salespeople.

On another note, I got months of run a round from MVC in San Fran years ago to get my weeks enrolled from another purchase. It took about 5 months and calls to Salt Lake City office to get rest of weeks enrolled, but it was done finally. A few weeks ago, at MVC pulse in San Diego, we had to attend a presentation for the Journey concert package. Guess who walked in to try to close me on a purchase? The same sales weasel manager that assured me he would be getting my weeks enrolled at San Fran years ago. I had some choice words for this weasel.

I’ll just jump on the Aruba bandwagon. I’ve done three enrollments with Dean’s contact. I’m always freaked out but everything has gone perfectly and he’s a good guy.

I handwrite a note on the understandings page that the enrollment is part of the deal before I sign it, and no one has complained. But I think the email and texts from Deans contact are sufficient.

It would save a lot of grief if Marriott would just make a form that gets attached to the agreements

I did the same with a Spain purchase. I had a week that hadn't transferred so we delayed closing for 2 months; I simply ensured I had it in writing via email that it would be added prior to closing to be re-qualified. In the end we even had to extend closing for another 2 weeks due to further transfer delays.

I was also apprehensive this not being mentioned in the contract itself, but having it in email writing was sufficient for me and it all worked out.

Thanks for these acknowledgments it helps to ease my apprehension. Did you use the same contact from Dean and Gemini Chica?

I don’t think any of us has used Dean’s contact for a Spain purchase. He’s based in Aruba and I think our experience with him is limited to Aruba.

That is correct. A couple of others here have experience with the Spain reps and they can reach out to the OP if they have additional information.

I have only dealt with and can recommend the Aruba salesperson. Have not dealt with anyone in Spain sales.

I am happy to share my experience with the Spain reps if the OP would like to message me.

Update on my enrollment. The sales team in Spain received confirmation from MVC 2 days ago that they could see and are tracking my purchase.
Then today I received notification from LT transfer that the week has been transferred to my account. Which means it will be in the contract as I have not received it yet. They were waiting for me to get back to the US to send it as I am in France right now.
They must have expedited it because Marriott received the transfer documents on Sept 9th.

How is the weather in France? Wife and I will be in Paris on Oct 20.

Did you stay at the MVC Paris Disneyland location? If you are in Paris, how are the crowds? Hoping that crowd level is low as the Olympics are done.

Enjoy your trip.

I was in Nice and it was 75-79 and sunny. Now I am in Provence and it’s 65-69 sunny but today was windy. Heading to MVC Disney on Sunday but don’t go to Paris till the 13th. Hoping the temperature stays in the 60’s but looks like rain in the forecast for Paris area. We shall see.
