Does Select instead of Owner give you a 13-month preference for booking a 7-night stay, or need to go up another level? My weeks are enrolled, but so far have only used them as weeks and rented points when needed for short-term stays. I am already Lifetime Platinum, so that was not a selling point, but the salesperson did make a big deal about my wife getting the status.
I also want to confirm that the select level is 4,000 points.
I had a choice of 400 club points or 25,000 Bonvoy Points for the presentation. Took the Bonvoy points and actually got 35,000. Was told by the salesperson that I would never be able to go to another points presentation if I do not buy, which I am sure is not true. The salesperson also made a big deal about the new direct booking for hotels. Of course, he showed places in Asia and small towns in Europe that required a low number of points. When I asked about major cities like New York or San Diego, the point cost was astronomical, equivalent to over $1,000 a night in mtc fees.
