Currently at the Westin Riverfront Villas in Colorado.

Wondering what the going rate for owner updates is. I typically prefer Bonvoy points.

Thanks
 
In March I stayed in Breckenridge and I was offered 40,000 to attend a virtual presentation. I thought I would be meeting the sales team from Westin Riverfront (I did a virtual presentation with them in 2024) but met with someone from Orlando instead. Before that I was on Orlando in December and was offered $300.
 
I am here too! (Westin Riverfront). I was offered 30,000 Bonvoy points or 500 Club Points. I went for the latter, since I find them useful at non-Vistana properties. I am going to Steamboat on Thursday with Club Points. 770 Club Points for 8 nights in a 2 BR unit.
 
Owner Update incentives can vary by your profile and also based on current tour traffic on any given day. One person may be offered something different than someone else.

Experiencing that right now 🤣
 
We were offered 50,000 Bonvoy Points. Asked for more but they said no. Will still go.

(There were other options but I wanted Bonvoy points)
 
At the Sheraton Steamboat Springs they offered me 50,000 Bonvoy points or 500 Club Points. They said I would get the points even though I just did an update a week earlier at the Westin Roverfront. I passed this time. There's only so much of my vacation time I was willing to give up.
