Of course they did recommend we buy today before prices increase!A stunning admission of the truth from sales!

Of course, but then we are in a time where prices are legitimately increasing due to inflation so that might actually become truth.Of course they did recommend we buy today before prices increase!
That sounds like the kind of presentation that I like! In and out with as little time investment as possible!
Exactly right. Probably the best result that can be hoped for is that things won't get any worse for existing ownership, and maybe there will be some marginal benefit from the ability to transfer to MVC. But I'm not holding my breath on the latter part....The only thing for certain, is that some type of change is coming. What time will prove is that some of the specific details being speculated will be right and other details will be wrong.

@CalGalTraveler WRF our home resort...love it. That must have been a large bucket-o-bonvoy-points just sayin'!We used Bonvoy points to book riverfront to ski. We also have a multi-site encore package purchased pre Covid and it always seemed booked. May use elsewhere.
The great news is, we are still going to be able to convert 100% of our options to bonvoy points, where Marriott owners can only convert 65%. In my eyes this is a win.
Flex points can't be rented out as points but is the ability to convert Flex points to Bonvoy points even a "win" in the Vistana world?
This option always seemed to me like a last resort if using, renting, and exchanging are not an option - maybe like when a global pandemic breaks out!
Yes. If devaluation carries on at this rate, conversion to Resort Credit will soon be worth more than conversion to Bonvoy pointsPre Marriott, and especially pre circa 2010, when most nights ranged 2000 to 7000 SPG points, the conversion was not a bad deal. (Multiply by 3 to get the Bonvoy equivalent). Now it really is pretty much last resort with few rooms below 20k and many much higher. One would think Marriott might want to up the Bonvoy points given for an owner week since they can rent many of these out for big bucks as hotel rooms.
