Ongoing Sales Incentive - Enrolling Post-6/20/10 Weeks [MERGED]

[SueDonJ]

We have resale weeks purchased post-2010. Recently attended sales presentation at NCV. They looked up our weeks and said there were eligible as long as we purchased 1500 points over $10.00 per point.

While we did enroll our resale timeshares
purchased prior to the June 2010 deadline, we passed on this "deal"

Did you purchase your post-6/2010 resales from Marriott Resales Operations or on the external market?

Likely to be similar to the folks at Shadow Ridge sales office. I paid up, only to be revoked by "corporate" a day later.

Received this email today:

Can anyone tell me the number of points received when one elects points for a platinum, 2BR Grande Vista?

New Sales Incentive?

When we were at Legends End in Panama City last week I got talking to a woman who owns 1 week in Palm Springs. She and her husband went to a sales meeting with no intention to buy anything and did exactly that. What I found interesting as her sales incentive she was offered 25000 MP, $100 in a local cash card and the opportunity for $595 to enroll their week in DC. This surprised me on the enrollment option as supposedly that option closed a while back. By the way she did enroll her week to give them more flexibility.

I had looked into the hybrid program a while back and because I was trying to buy a Platinum week in one of my major properties and was stated I had to buy 4500 DC Points also to put into DC. I did not take that option. I may just buy a week on the open market instead. But with the large investment I think it is just best to rent DC Points when I need them.

If post 2010 is enrolled under the program, can you convert to Marriott rewards as well?

Yes, my offer included the same MR trade value as the unit would have been originally sold wish.

Talked to representative tonight, Now what to do??

I talked to the Marriott rep. tonight. I own Custom House and 2Br. Grande Chateau, both are platinum. She said CH DP were 2929 and GC DP were 3275.
I could purchase 2500 for about 2800 and 3500 pts for about $3900. If I purchased the 2500, I could only enroll one of the weeks. Did anyone else get two weeks for the 2500 DP? That would make it more interesing for me to have them both enrolled.
I worry that if things keep changing, my two weeks will continue to loose the value in trading.
Have owners who bought the DP been able to get the weeks they wanted or are they also hanging until the end to see if they got their reservation.
I don't want to shell out that much money but I don't want my weeks to be worth zero.
Any thoughts on what you are doing? She said I would have to decide which unit I would put the DP on.

Has any one else been offered the MR that the origional owners received?

Did you mean 2500 for $28,000 and 3500 for $39,000?

From page one

Any external weeks purchased after the June 2010 deadline that have closed before August 15, 2015 can be enrolled in the Destinations Club for a limited time with a purchase of points:

2500 – enrolls 1 external week
3500 – enrolls 2 external weeks
5000 – enrolls 3-7 external weeks

Limited time offer – Points purchase must be made before November 4 (Note: there is a points price increase on Sep 10)

You can only enroll 1 week for the 2500. There is a little wiggle room on promotional pricing vs promotional bonus points. They are not going to wiggle on enrolling 2 weeks vs 1 for 2500 destination points.

I can't address the value proposition for you, but I can say that in the year we've been in the DC we've been able to reserve the exact days we wanted all three times we've tried, but that was going online to book the day the reservation window opened. Others times that I have gone online just to shop the system, virtually everything I've looked for has been available with just minimal date flexibility required. I have been very impressed with the ease of booking in the DcC program and find it far superior to trading, without the uncertainty and waiting.

I got a phone call from Marriott this afternoon regarding an email I received earlier, and was offered the option to purchase 2,500 annual DC points at the "discounted price for owners" of $27,000, and they would retro my annual 2BR OF Kauai Beach Club resale into the Destinations Club. I'd love to add KBC to my DC account, but declined the offer as I have no desire to buy any more points and pay higher MF's.

 

[ahdah]

Jeepie, did I leave out a 0??

The actural amount was 27+ so she rounded it to $28000. JIMinNC, thanks for the information on being able to get the weeks or days you needed. That was what I was looking for. We are retired, but our children do not have the flexibility to do this and DP would give that to them.
Thanks everyone, I was hoping I could get 2 weeks, but it looks like that will not happen for $28000.
One other question, will they be elgeable for the Marriott Rewards if we wanted to use that. We are going to HHI at the end of Oct., but she was saying prices may have gone up by then. (I don't think so, but not sure).
Thanks again,
A big decision!

Got my call today

I heard from Greg Glover an "executive" with Marriott at Ocean watch. He was assigned my account to extend the offer to us of 2,500 Pts at the $27,000 discounted price to enroll our summer week at DSV II, which is only worth 1,675 DP. The combined points would put us at chairman's level. I told him we have an upcoming Encore visit to Barony at HH in 3 weeks and he offered to apply the value I paid (including the value of the 100k MR points) to the purchase price and I could then skip my presentation during my encore package visit (now that is SOME incentive at least..lol). He also mentioned something about using Marriott to finance the purchase for even a minimal amount of time (and then pay it off, cause their rates are ridiculous), and we will get an additional 2,500 DP points for one time use. I'm wondering what other "enhancements" I might be able to get if I pushed this further. Any thoughts? Platinum status for 2-3 years? Additional MR points? We set up another call for next week to discuss one more time. Not really considering doing this for the small number of points my DSV week would generate.

I need help

I need to find out what my resale weeks are worth in DC points. I can't get that info from my-vacation club.com because I'm not given the option to convert to DC points on weeks purchased after 2010. There must be a list somewhere!

Check the list linker by Faster; it has values as reported by Owners. If yours isn't there or if you want to confirm what you find, you can call Owner Services and they'll be able to tell you as will any sales reps. You don't have to commit to enrollment or a sales presentation in order to get the information you need.

Earlier in this thread I noted that some of the info in that thread may be incorrect. It's still a good resource but I'd want to verify the info found there through another source.

I think they are 2 separate things. The one you linked is an Excel spreadsheet type database and has issues. The one I linked is a PDF and appears to be far more accurate.

It seems the days of Marriott "fixed" pricing, aka "we don't negotiate", are very far in the past.

I do believe the PDF has been very accurate. The spreadsheet can be overwritten by owners and can be a little buggy.

Best,

Greg

If I buy into the offer I get to turn all my weeks into DC points. Thats 22,000 points.

I would have to buy 5,000 Trust points @10.98 a point plus closing.

The incentive offers I was given are 5,000 DC points or 350,000 MRP. I don't know which is better? Thoughts about which I should choose if I go this direction?

The DC points are worth about $2,500 (going rate for rental pricing).

Would you use the MRP for a travel package and get good use out of the airline miles??? If so, that is likely worth quite a bit more. If instead you just use the MRP for single nights at Marriott's, it's likely a wash in value.

Just curious.....if you did purchase the 5000pts, would you be able to enroll up to 7 weeks or would you be able to enroll more than 7?
