My wife and I spent 10 days in Maui (Kapalua) over Christmas with our three adult children. As a time killer (waiting for our 10pm flight), we enjoyed the MVC presentation at Maui Ocean Club. They worked-up a dream package of 7500 points, purchased at $10.18 per point ($11.96 less 15%). As additional incentives, we were to receive 1) 7500 additional points into our account (one-time, 2-year expiration), 2) 500,000 Marriott Rewards points, and 3) Marriott Rewards elite gold status for 3 years.
I was uncomfortably unfamiliar with the timeshare game, but their unconditional 10-day cancellation policy was enough to get us to sign. We flew home to Montana and I jumped on the internet. I discovered TUG and schooled-up.
After reading many posts here, I was convinced to cancel our purchase and I did so a few days ago by mailing a Notice of Cancellation to MOC and Marriott HQ in Orlando, FL. So, now the heat is off with Marriott.
Instead, I will be looking to join MVC via a re-sale purchase of 1500 points, and rent the additional points necessary for the vacations we desire. We like the flexibility of a points system, and we like the location and quality of the Marriott resorts, so we’ll likely go with MVC. Any specific recommendations on the safest/surest way to go about it would be much appreciated?
