Why don't Platinum/Gold/Silver/Garbage seasons have varying maintenance fees that reflect their value?
I understand that you want an exec to answer this, and I'm certainly not one of those, but I know that the answer in some states will simply be, "because existing timeshare laws don't allow that."
My one question would be, "
why do you include so many stipulations/restrictions in the governing docs that would allow for fairer usage among all owners, and then not actively enforce them?"
For examples I would like Marriott to implement across the portfolio the "reservation lottery" system that prohibits the same owners from booking the same highest-demand holiday periods at the highest-demand resorts every year, and, the "rotational placement" system that says if you get a high-floor placement one year then the next you'll get a low-floor placement, or if you get a sit-on-the-balcony-and-get-an-ocean-expanse-view in a designated "oceanside" unit one year then the next you'll get a lean-over-the-balcony-railing-and-look-left-for-a-sliver-of-the-ocean from another unit designated "oceanside." The former would make some allowance for all owners to at least have a chance at getting the highest-demand intervals among all those that were purchased despite some owners being simply unable to schedule their vacations at the minute a reservation window opens, or not entitled to the earliest reservation windows, or worst case not high enough in the queue the minute the reservation window opens for the highest-of-high demand times. The latter would go a long way towards reducing the number of entitled DYKWIA people that we see belly-aching at check-in, and again, ensure that all owners enjoy the best and the worst and everything in-between of all units that conform to their designated purchase.
