We're exchanging into Willow Ridge in Oct. Does Willow ridge send this out to exchangers? We're owners at Ocean Pt. and always get this preference email.

We have gotten these messages, or something very similar, multiple times, for many different resorts. On our last one, I indicated our preferences for Cypress Harbour, and was delighted when we got our 1st choice, especially since we were exchangers. Can't say that all the resorts look at these messages, but at least some do.

I too have gotten them for all reservations made in the past year or so. That said, on only 2 occasions have I received a reply...and one of those was just today, on my recently booked jaunt to Oceana Palms. Booked it on 7/24/13 for an 8/17/13 check in, received the request on 7/25 (next day), submitted it on 7/26 and received the following nice reply today (7/29).

Thank you for taking the time to respond to the pre-arrival request email.

I have noted on your reservation arriving approximately noon on Aug. 17th that you would like a villa that is in the Sunrise building on a high floor closest to the beach. Although not guaranteed, we will do our best to find a villa that meets your preferences.

In regards to an early check-in based on your arrival time, I am unfortunately unable to guarantee that we will have a villa that meets your above requests available when you arrive approximately Noon on Aug 17th. Upon your arrival we will work to find a villa that is available and hope to provide you with an early check-in if at all possible. If we are unable to find a villa that is ready and meets your requests upon arrival we will gladly store your luggage, provide you with pool towels, and take a cell phone number to contact you as soon as a villa becomes available.


We are looking forward to your stay at Oceana Palms and hope that you will contact us with any questions or concerns that you have prior to your arrival.

Warm Regards,​

Now, what I end up with is where the rubber meets the pavement, but I like the fact that they took the time to reply....its a start.

Is anybody else seeing something weird with the title of this thread on the Marriott forum page? Every other thread that has multiple pages of posts shows the thread title then in parentheses the little icon that means, "multi-page thread" followed by the page numbers. This thread has the thread title followed by " 2 1 [icon] )) "

Hmmmmm.

Yes....page numbers are backwards for me too.

I received these forms recently for an II exchange to KoOlina and an Owner week at Kauai Beach Club. For my owner week at Kauai Bean Club I got exactly what I requested. For the II exchange week, which was Marriott to Marriott, I got the opposite of what I requested.

Oh good, I'm not losing my mind. I posted a question in the "About TUG BBS" forum.
