The official documentation explicitly excludes PBC Weeks and AP Points Owners - yet again we are discriminated against by MVCI - as an DC enrolled owner in Europe with weeks at PBC and And AP Points I am GUTTED to be EXCLUDED by MVCI yet AGAIN.

I understand your frustration. But just because they've released info related to these changes on 4/30, doesn't mean they won't also release info related to the DC/AP affiliation that you've been waiting on so long. The rumors in this thread seem to be more involved, more detailed, than any previously talked about. Hopefully that means good news for you and the others who have been waiting.

I paid my fee to enrol my Europe weeks into the DC - a much higher fee i might add than the initial fee in the USA. I also paid the fee (more points to be purchased) to enrol my PBC weeks in the AP points system. The least I expect is to be able to include my AP Points and PBC weeks at NO COST.

Annoyed does not descibe how I am feeling at the moment.

I agree with you. My comment would apply to someone who only owns PBC weeks. If you have already paid the enrollment fees to enroll multiple weeks, adding more shouldn't cost any additional fees.

I do see the exclusion for AP and PBC. I wonder if that is just a temporary measure until they announce something more related to Global Points System?

I have been dissapointed too many times in the last 3 years Susan to be even hopeful. If I am wrong then that would be great but releasing information that explicitly excludes owners like me really grates and is not acceptable in my view. Surely MVCI Staff dealing with this can get a co-ordinated message out there.

I will wait in hope rather than expectation.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm not feeling loved by MVCI at the moment. My view is that a PBC weeks owner will be forced to enrol in the AP point system by buying about $20,000 worth of AP points which is what it currently costs to enrole weeks at PBC into the AP system. That cost is significantly more than DC enrolment. Many owners will just reject that offer.

We're hopeful with you, knowing how much you've advocated for fairness for you and the other owners who have been kept waiting.

Has anyone learned more about the program to enroll Phuket weeks?

No news. I emailed my sales guy at PBC and he replied that they did not get the information about the global points system on the training day on Jan 29th. So still waiting for details.
