We agreed to one at the Quin for 150K last spring, but wound up getting 160K because the system was set up with only intervals of 20K. Or maybe it was operator error.
Strong work!

I was offered a package 1901/1802 week 34 - a Gold week - but also the start of the U.S. Open. When he couldn’t close that sale he tried to move me up in points at TQ.Strong work!
Pls don't let them convince you to add to your centum collection
Enjoy the Parade tmrw in NYC with @Eric B !!
@JohnnyO , how is your tally for '25 looking like with @h2oflyboy 's 800k+ haul thus far in '25?
May you both (& all interested), succeed in your Multi-MM HH quest(s)!
. I was so proud of her. 
Definitely, pls DO let us know the scoop on where thing are with renos (& all the OF's which are now looking at the new houses at P@P)...
The lips are moving, so...
We've gotten 125K HH for a MarBrisa OU.
Nice. They offered 100k HH plus their 3/day 2/night Hilton package. We walked away and said 150k as it’s all about the points. They called us three hours later and said they got the 150k via the regional manager.

What is going on? Can’t they see that you are not buying? Just get em through the door, I guess. You would think after awhile they would not placate you.Nice.

Sounds like somehow he's got HGVC pulling a Wyndham. I imagine the reason I don't get asked is I never bought retail. Wyndham doesn't care lol. On the other hand I have a use for Honors points, not so much Wyhdam Rewards.
I've wondered the same thing about us and Marriott. Every time we go to a resort, they ask us for an owner update. We have never bought direct and are 100% resale. Doesn't matter if it is a Marriott or Vistana property, they ask us and we attend. Over 75 of these things so far. Not nearly as many points as reported here because Marriott doesn't hand them out at the rate of 150K per update, most we've been offered is 45K in Bonvoy. I've never really negotiated much with Marriott but often do with Wyndham, another company that asks us every time. Sometimes just days apart.
We are currently at P@P in building 9 OF - no house construction in the way at this end of the property.
Awesome!
MarBrisa 150k HH points in the bank.
Oh boy, this time we got an “experienced” sales rep who didn’t know how to listen. “We needed Max” for all the premier+ benefits. NO, we are HGVC Legacy EP and we get all the benefits and more. Plus we get DEX EU. All fell on deaf ears. She had to list all the benefits like we were idiots. So I took her paper and listed all the EP benefits next to her list. “Blah blah blah Max Max Max.”
So I finally told her very slowly and clearly that we DON’T want the Trust nor Max but would consider an HGVC District bHC deed if she had one. She has to go check. Comes back and not a word about District or bHC … “You need to consolidate all your GPR deeds (including MarBrisa) in order to only pay one maintenance fee bill and a lower maintenance fee.” She offered to give us full equity in our three remaining GPR deeds (even though two are resale) and buy into a MarBrisa Platinum 3BR deed in the new premium Building 67. It’s only $8 per point (with a big discount) so that would cost us $162k+, with less HGVC points than our three remaining deeds … but hey “you would save on lower maintenance fees because you know your maintenance fees are really high at CSP & GPP.” “And everything is Max so you would get that too”
She wanted to bring us a proposal but we were past the 60 mins so I did all the calculations right there on the spot for platinum, gold and silver season deeds along with the equity calculations and said we weren’t even close, we’re done, NO, thank you. She finally brought us to gifting for the VIP points pitch.
I don’t mind a good sales meeting, good discussion and to learn a thing or two. The only thing we learned was how she didn’t listen and how ridiculously priced HGVC MarBrisa’s “premium” retail product is. Who buys this stuff at these prices?
You know, if they really want us to consider that offer seriously then they need to upgrade and put us into the premium building 67 on our next MarBrisa stay and give us 200k HH incentive points … just practicing for the next pitch they throw our way unless we finally win PNG royalty status.
I heard from others who have stayed in Building 67 that it is nice. Permits for the next building to be issued before the end of 2025. Groundbreaking toward end of 2026. Now that I think of it maybe we should have asked to actually see the model in building 67. But that would have taken more time with this silliness.
@BingoBangoBongo King I know how you feel about OU’s. Maybe someday MrsBBB will drag you along like what happened to @brp 
P@P is HVC (former Diamond), and there is lots of info searchable in that sub-forum, including site maps. I will say that we are in a renovated unit, and they did a nice job. We are owners, and requested building 9.
Can you share photos of the renovated room? Last time we were at P@P a few years ago the room needed a full reno with many items breaking, cabinets worn, and tiles cracked so it was sad. So we decided we will not return until reno complete.
