We are staying at a joint Marriott Hotel/MVC property this week and are departing tomorrow. I declined the offer to sit through a sales presentation after we arrived.
Now they are offering a “just before you leave” offer for a 3 night/4 day package that’s valid at a long list of MVC properties, for $199 to $299. The package includes 15,000 Bonvoy points. The list of locations includes the MVC Pulse in Washington DC, and I’m considering buying the package as the price is reasonable for that location and we e been talking about taking a trip there for a few days so this would fit the bill.
My question is whether I’m actually likely to find availability at that location, maybe in the spring or autumn next year. I’ve tried to exchange info some of the Pulse properties through Interval in the past (my ownerships are on the Vistana side) and never had any luck. I realize these sales packages book from completely different inventory so I’m just wondering whether this would be a good deal or whether I’d be throwing money away.
Of course, when you use the package, you have to endure another sales session, so I don’t really want to buy it if I’m unlikely to get into someplace we want to go.
One thing I can say for sure is that the package and tour incentives on the Marriott side are much less generous than on the Vistana side.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
