We own EY at WPR and in order to get our discounted theme park tickets in Orlando, attended an owners update at SVV.
First, we were told at check-in for the presentation it would only be a 60 minute update. They lied as usual. They booked us on the morning we were heading for the airport as it was the only time we had available and clearly told them we had one hour. At 80 minutes into it I basically said we're done as two people clearly knew they had 60 minutes.
The sales guy said he had come over from Marriott VC and developed all the presentation materials himself. If I were him I wouldn't take credit. They had spelling and grammar errors in them.
He claimed he couldn't access the notes from our last update in July 2019 at Westin Kierland Villas and said that the sales guy there should have told us about the MVC because it's all been worked out.
Basically he said that MVC wants to dump all non-US properties and WSJ due to liability issues and cost. He also said some US properties would eventually be offloaded.
He said that Marriott is working on buying back all deeded properties at the locations they want to keep and add them to the MVC, SVC, WVC pool of points. Because of this, deeded owners will have less opportunity to book as deeded properties will have lower inventory over time. Not sure how true that is. Opinions?
Anyway, he proposed a couple of options to upgrade (of course) with us spending more money to buy into the points systems. He said he was selling MVC, but all the papers said Sheraton Flex on them.
He also like about some email that all SVC owners should have received in October 2018 offering them a discounted rate to buy into the points system. I save all these emails and could not find it. I asked him to produce a copy and he said he could not.
I grabbed all the papers with his offers and refused to give them back to him, which made him very upset. I didn't see anything especially revealing on the papers but I attached them just in case. His boss then came in and they basically escorted us out, which was fine with me.
Last night I emailed the deedback program at MVC and they offered to buy our WPR EY week 1-50 float at $5750 after closing costs. Am seriously considering it just to get out of the high MF each year. We've visiting most of the Sheraton/Westin properties and don't have a burning desire to go back to any of them on a regular basis.
