New [DC] Ownership Levels Are Live [Owner Discount Info]

[dioxide45]

It looks like they posted an update Exchange Procedures document that mentions the new status levels. Though I couldn't find anything in there with regard to only a certain percentage of owners being in a certain level. They seem to have removed that which was there under the old Premier/Premier Plus verbiage.

First banking experience

As Chairman's level I wanted to use the two year banking but my screen only showed a one year bank. I called this evening and on the advisors screen it showed a two year bank. So I banked both elected and trust points from calendar year 2015. I went back in and under the detailed summary it shows the use year as 1/1/16-12/31/17. So even though I am disappointed with the "benefits" thus far for Chairman, I was pleased with an easy phone call that the new two year banking worked.

Thank you! I've looked quick but plan on getting more into it in the next few days.

I'm still waiting for an "official" word on the cancellation policy for reservations booked during the extended 18-months and 24-months banking period, then subsequently cancelled more than 60 days out from check-in. Two of us received two completely different answers from Owner Services reps last week. Did you ask or did the rep offer any info about that?

Sorry Sue, I didn't ask

MOD or MVA rate on Marriott.com

Are we still able to use MOD or MVA on Marriott.com? I am trying to book a room at Marriott Grand Chateau and the discounted rate isnt coming up....usually an easy one to find. Thank you

I'm merging your post into a thread where we've been talking about the changes related to the discount codes since 4/30/15. You could try the "7VC" code mentioned in Post #29 for the 25%; none of us knows if the additional 10% VISA component is available.

(I'm waiting on answers from MVW for a few questions and this is one of them; will post when I hear.)

 

[SueDonJ]

Larue, thanks for sharing the codes you were able to learn. I edited the FAQ to include 2VC, 6VC and 7VC.

I played around with XVC and found that 1VC, 4VC and 9VC return a message, "Invalid Corporate or Promotional Code." But 3VC, 5VC and 8VC return, "The special rate you selected is not available for the dates you requested." Maybe that means the VISA fields are entered but the codes aren't live yet?

Talking to myself again ...

The same 2VC, 6VC and 7VC are working; MOD still isn't. This is the message that now comes up with any of the other XVC attempts: "The hotels in this location are unavailable for your dates and/or special rates. Try changing your travel dates and/or special rate request. For stays of more than 220 days, please call in the US 1-888-236-2427 or ["phone number" link] for a reservation agent near you."

I can get rates for those codes too. I don't know if I am Presidential or Chairmans club, some how I doubt it..Can I still book them ?

MOD code - is it still valid?

Has the MOD discount code changed?

I am trying to add an extra night in Orlando and it appears the MOD is no longer valid anytime for the Orlando MVC. Checked a few other destinations and code also seems to not be working. Confused.

There are new codes now DC Points members (trust and enrolled) based on new levels
Chairman’s Club and Presidential: 2vc
Executive: 6vc
Regular Owner 7vc
It seems that MOD is now gone, except for some examples I have found in Asia Pacific.
I am not clear if there are still any codes for MVC weeks owners who are not enrolled in DC?

I believe that unenrolled owners can use 7VC.

I believe that unenrolled owners can use 7VC.

That would be very sensible, as they should still benefit without having to enrol if they do not wish to do so.

How do they verify your code selection? I've wondered if you can book at the lowest rate possible and then simply go about your business as normal.

We're Chairman/Premiere Plus level and when I've used the 35 percent (plus 10 percent Visa) discount code before online, I have received a welcome email a couple days later similar to my confirmations for my home resort. I know I have seen a mention of verification of ownership somewhere.

Similarly, we received the 35 percent (plus 10 percent - M/C in our case) discount using the old Premier Plus P33 code and was not asked for any proof of qualification.
Perhaps they have some method of cross checking MR number to MVC ownership / DC status, although this seems unlikely!

 

[dvc_john]

Is the extra 10% for having a Marriott Visa gone now? I'm not seeing it with the 7vc code.

It does seem to be so, for now anyway.

 

[Weimaraner]

I just looked at my reservations with the discount code. They sent the usual confirmation - then followed up a day later with a more specific one in our name from Owner's Services, which gives me the impression that the info may be verified through MVCI.

 

[SueDonJ]

Any time we've checked in using MOD or DC-related discount codes they've mentioned that they can see our owner status on their computer screen, and they've asked to see the VISA card to verify that component.

[Note this is being merged with a recent related thread.]

 

[dioxide45]

Do we not have any confirmation from MVCI yet about the additional 10% Visa discount. I would think they should tell us one way or the other. Not just leave us wondering.

I haven't heard anything but we're been at Barony and SurfWatch for the last two weeks. If there's nothing waiting for me at home I'll follow up next week.

The Marriott Vacation Club Insider email that went out today talked about the owner discount for cash reservations at MVC resorts but made no mention of an additional 10% for using the Marriott Visa.

It took a while but MVW responded to my question with this:

"The Owner’s Discount can no longer be combined with any other discounts or offers."

I posted it the other day in a similar thread, New DC Status Tiers effective 4/30/15.

(These two threads probably should have been merged; sorry about that. Doing it now would cause some confusion so instead I'm locking this one. The discussion can be continued in the other. )
