Marriott vacation club - levels

[Avulasai]

Any benefit in getting
Chairman’s club vs presidential Vs executive level ?

Just wondering. I know they are assigned at point levels but other benefits wise ?

Presidential and chairman's main perk in my opinion is the 30% discount within 60 days.

There are benefits for each one. Whether or not those benefits are worth it can be questionable, and are very much in the eye of the beholder.

The other major benefit of Chairman’s Club level for me is the flexibility of being able to
“Bank current year’s points to be used the following 2 years”
I wouldn’t pay a large sum of money just to get this though.

Here are the differences. Up to you how much they are worth to you. That can be highly subjective...

Around 15 years ago when I joined TUG, people were spending 6 figures to get to Starwood/Vistana 5-Star Elite. The primary benefit they were chasing was Starwood "Platinum for Life" (aka "PFL") and also late checkout + early checkin for timeshare stays, and the perk of banking allowed until Dec 31. Today Starwood doesn't exist anymore, Titanium status (the equivalent of Starwood Platinum status) is not super hard to get annually with a couple of credit cards and a few timeshare stays (or via MVC status with 10,000 Abound points you get "Titanium for Life" - or the lifetime of ownership) and, as a result, doesn't offer great benefits anymore, and the Vistana Elite program, along with the unique 5-Star benefits (like Dec 31 banking, late checkout, early checkin) were discontinued last year. So just keep that in mind the next time a salesperson says you should spend $$,$$$ for a status upgrade!

Here's a blast from the past from the (formerly) Starwood / (now) Vistana thread

This off topic (Marriott Vacation Club - Levels) but it's sort of about abound. Excuse me for placing this in the wrong catagory.

From my understanding, ABOUND post on a certain day and time of a week when inventory opens up. Does any one know what day of the week and time?

Thank You ahead of time.
