Just did our owners update at WSJ. Rumor from sales is that MVW will be changing the benefit levels to start Executive at 10K, Presidential at 15K, and Chairman's Club at 20K. They also indicated that there would be additional benefits added to Chairman's Club to differentiate from Presidential - Ambassador Elite Bonvoy status and one other thing I don't really remember but wasn't too impressed by. Salesman indicated that there would be a roll out of additional hotel bookings using Club Points, some at good rates and some not so good. He provided some examples that currently exist, though I didn't independently verify.
Sales offer was for trade in of a resale we have towards a week 52 VGV. Price wasn't horrible, about twice the resale prices I've seen. Offer would have included requal of some VGV weeks we already have in Abound because they were pre-2022, 1 1/2 years of bonus SOs, and some Bonvoy certificates. They indicated that they will not provide the linkage discount for a recent Marriott hotel stay here at WSJ. Emphasis was on the rental value of week 52. I noticed that a number of the sales personnel had the website for OM Villas up during their presentations with others so that's clearly a major sales point now at WSJ - hadn't seen those up last time we were here though someone had mentioned one of the competitors to OM then.
