Dear Group:
I own a two bedroom villa through MVC at Grande Vista (purchased in 2004). I just did 3 weeks at Marriott Beach Place Towers (I split one unit and had an extra week from another year) and would like to try and spend 4 plus weeks at MBP next again next January. Other TUG Members suggested renting points and indicated that I needed an account through MVC where I could place rented points. In order to establish the account, I was told I had to attend an online 90 minute webinar with MVC. I just completed the webinar (and no, I 'm not going to buy any points) and was advised by the sales person that I can't have an account for points because I chose not to buy points so:
Is this correct? Do I have to buy points to establish an account to bank points (btw, I bought my timeshare as a resale so I can't convert the unit to points); and
If I still want to rent points, I was told I would have to go to the resale market, rent points through an owner and the owner would have to book the reservation for me, using my name.
Does the above make sense? Is renting points from other owner(s) still a viable option for me? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!!
