Here is an interesting document that another owner shared with me. They received it at KL. I suspect that it is written by KL and not a corporate document because I know of many people who have received trade in/upgrade offers for less than $25k. The top section is The Club and the bottom is HGVC. This person is HGVC but they highlighted that sentence, probably, to scare them into buying. Also, I know of folks who traded in multiple deeds and didn't pay $25k each to do it. I call BS.

"one opportunity in a lifetime"

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

This was definitely written by some sales slime there, and no way would wording like that be used by corporate. Total BS.

"one opportunity in a lifetime"
It's true. It just depends upon which lifetime one is talking about. There will be just one opportunity in the liftetime of the current sales pitch. Says nothing about the owner's lifetime.

Hmmm...maybe I should get a post-retirement job as a salesweasel...I know how to think like them...

Cheers.
 
Excluding penhouses? That's a big BS!

Cannot imagine how they can pack so many BSs into just one page!!

FOMO in black and white!
 
Maybe they mean "lifetime" like Amex for their credit/charge card rules? Where it's really 7 years. haha

Well, we did it twice into penthouses. We must be special or they made a special exception for us....

Did they make exception on the money part? They will do whatever to make 25k, which is most important to them. lol.

Not sure anyone actually needs an exception to anything on that sales document. The $25K seems more like an actual corporate policy.

it isn't. Too many offers for less across properties to be a corporate policy. individual sale's office are setting that rule
 
I know of person that just had a $13k new money offer from KL, which is surprising since they tend to be one that sticks to the $25k rule. That offer was to trade in resale deeds for another retail deed that would combine with their other retail deed and raise their Max level.

About five years ago I got similar info at a HGVC sales presentation at MarBrisa. They offered to trade two of my deeds which were qualified as “developer” sales. One was HGVC Marbrisa Gold studio (4,000 points) and the other was a GPP one bedroom fixed summer OV week (9,920 points). This was really a resale that we negotiated several GPP resales into a fixed summer week plus a little cash via GPR. They were trying to get us into a Marbrisa 3 BR platinum week.

They thought our other GPP and CSR’s were retail and giving us full retail credit. They came back with only the two qualified and all the others as resales would need $25k new money each to trade.

No thanks.
