All,
I have reason to suspect that Marriott will soon announce a program whereby owners of weeks purchased after June 2010 will have the opportunity to enroll their weeks if the owner purchases Trust Points directly from Marriott. This sounds like a version of the hybrid purchase, except that the owner is supplying the resale week.
This also sounds similar to the requalification program that we have seen with Starwood, whereby if an owner spends $20,000 (may have increased to $40,000), they can enroll a single week and make it eligible for StarOptions. I know many Starwood owners prize an Annual SDO for requalification because it is a high StarOption/low MF week.
I am curious what price threshold Marriott owners would pay in order to enroll all of their unenrolled, post June 2010 weeks. I suspect it will require a substantial purchase of Trust Points, and curious what people would entertain. Since TUGgers love to speculate, I thought I would toss the beach ball out there.
I am a candidate for this because I have three unenrolled weeks (the two new 3BRs and my dedicated trader at Willow Ridge), although it would be alot more compelling for me if I could somehow access 6206/26 -- but like Dante, I have abandoned all hope. (Fasttr, you know I like classics).
Any thoughts on this?
Best,
Greg
