Let us know what they offer you anything for exiting or if they just let you walk away. Unless you have a PRIME resort (Maui Ocean Club or something similar), there might not be much of a resale market at this time.
Good luck!
Okay, so I called corporate and spoke with a senior manager. He offered me absolutely nothing. I asked if they could lift the restriction of having to convert to Marriott Rewards point by 12/31/19 for the 2020 year due to the pandemic and all he did was talk about how much money Marriott was losing due to having to cancel their rental reservations, so no. I explained that Disney would wind up losing millions, if not billions, by closing their resorts and parks and DVC resorts, and they were still working with their members and refunding their guests. I explained that some airlines might not survive but were refunding up charges (got my money back on my seat selection cost) and not charging any change or cancel fees and returning points, offering money in travel banks, etc.
He just kept saying Marriott was losing millions. I said Marriott will continue to lose when it loses PEOPLE, because without people there's no money being generated.
Anway....so I took the last option I wanted to take, which was the only option they care enough to offer, which is late deposit into II. By the way, this morning I received an email from Marriott highly suggesting people cancel their resort reservations because it was more than likely that all services will be closed. He connected me directly to II so we could spend yet another $99 to renew our membership, and then he said to go back onto MVC website and start a "chat" to have someone help me deposit my week.
Between the phone call with him and the wait times with Interval, and then the wait with a chat session, it took about 3 hours before I was chatting with an MVC person, who readily told me that they were no longer accepting deposits of weeks into II with check in dates prior to April 23rd. My head came up, did a 360 degree spin and came back onto my body. I got off the chat with her, called back the senior manager at corporate and was assured by him that he will make sure I get my deposit into Interval....but that it expires DECEMBER 17 2020.
I went on to let him know that he had my dues, and II had my $99 but I most likely will not have my week. He gave the number for the exit program, but I had to spend some time on hold with Jetblue, who had all my refunds/credits given back to me in less than 30 minutes. So I'll call exit tomorrow and see what they have to say.
Then we will know how to proceed.
Thanks for the info, opinions and suggestions, and for sharing your own experiences and thoughts. Stay home, Stay Safe, Stop the Spread.
