That’s fantastic - thx for finding this Jeremy!!

I will keep watching as well, this is an important development for us and let’s see how deep the Trust ends up for Westin and Sheraton weeks.

Best,

Greg

Nice to see their actions following up their words!

FYI -The links are only accessible for someone that's a registered user and logged into the system, at least that's what it says when you follow them.
I clicked agree/accept/ok (whatever the box said) and I was able to see the documents.

Are those values Abound points or HomeOptions? I’m guessing they are Abound given the values are all divisible by 250, but want to be sure.

I agree - not much to get excited about in here if I’m a MVC points owner. It’s basically Sheraton Flex and some lower demand Westin Flex deeds on first glance (although the relative amount of WPORV is interesting).

It's DC/MVC points. The conveyance paperwork shows the entire point balance of the trust before the transaction along with the new balance afterwards so it would have to be DC for that to work.

Yes, all Abound point values. It is mostly Sheraton inventory. WHen I looked at the conveyances, it all looked to be acquisitions. Probably what has been required since the last time they did conveyances to Sheraton Flex. I can't really explain why so few Westin resorts are in there.

My guess based on the list is you have a lot of people turning in deeds through the deedback program (although I thought SDO would have been higher).

it is interesting to see a larger amount of Bella and KW SVV points. That may explain why you haven’t seen too many weeks on the resale market (along with price increases).

Let’s hope MVC owners like going to Orlando - because that’s the bulk of the initial amount.:)

This is interesting — first load is ~7M which is not a lot considering the number of properties. And as Dioxide noted, these are not the premium properties. I am happy to see 900K of WPORV, which I s about 200 weeks, or roughly four reservations available for each week. That’s not a lot, but it is something to work with. I think the presence of competing Kauai properties will prevent WPORV from being a hot reservation. But at least something should be available right at inventory release.

It also suggests that the premier properties (WSJ, WKORV and Kierland) will have reservations initially sourced only from owner elections. It is still not clear how attractive the Marriott system is to these owners, so that may be a tough reservation to get.

We should see more inventory deposits in the future as weeks are ROFR’d or purchased directly from owners.

Interesting — thanks for posting this!

Best,

Greg

Does anybody know the Abound points required to book these Sheraton resorts? It might be point effective to use Abounds points in these cases if the point required is lower than to book with staroptions. I use my SVR 81,000 staroptions to go to SBP at 8 months. If SBP is less that 2600 (SVR) Abound points or equivalent then I might use that at 13 months and book depending on what weeks are in the trust.

We currently only have full points use charts for Westin resorts.

I don’t think Vistana resorts will be book able at 13 months. You’ll have to wait until 12 months. Probably fairly limited as the points are pretty low.

I saw the Sheraton (and Westin) chart Sun during an update. Should have taken a picture. These are comparable to the MVC properties of the same level in the same location. So you can get an idea by looking at the published MVC chart.

My estimation is that it is always going to be more expensive to book Vistana properties in Abound. I will certainly continue to use SOs to book back into Vistana properties.

As an example, I only get 3225 SOs for Desert Springs Villas 1 red season, but I need 4225 points to book the peak weeks in March.

I'm happy as well to see Princeville as well...the rest I couldn't care less about. Adding a few nights in Princeville to our Waiohai vacations will cut down on drive time and make our time on the South Shore more relaxing.

I like 234 weeks at WPORV. Please it’s a voluntary resort and some owners may buy points to enroll it (if not automatic) so it may become a desirable option (it’s already a desirable property).

This is an obvious statement, but Waiohai and Kauai Lagoons are 2BR or larger only, so WPORV is a much better 1BR and Studio than KBC.

Interesting. Thx again Jeremy.

Best,

Greg

Likely the case. That said I've already found some sweet spots where it would make sense for me to book backwards from Abound to Vistana after electing my Vistana ownership.. but I'm not going to say where because Marriott might be listening! :p

That’s interesting . Whatever is in the Abound is suppose to be bookable at 13 months from all I have reading. How will they restrict the Vistana resorts in abound?

That’s to book for that same resort. What about order resorts like SVV , SVR, SBP?
