Yes I understand that you wouldn’t want to do that, but as I’m piecing this together based on the pictures provided I’m trying to make an educated guess of what my weeks would get me in DC. I own SVR and if it’s based on the week on your deed, it would cost 2900 and 3450 DC points to book what I own. Would I expect to see from a DC election 85%? 90%? Of those amounts?
How does MVC handle housekeeping charges for multiple short stays?
In Post #686 above a MANDATORY-RESALE [LINE-4] was Enrolled because it was retro'd.
Yes, I saw that too, but only after taking the photo (they had the sheet backwards facing them in the presentation and I was able to snap a photo when they left) which is why I asked if there was going to be an amnesty type enrollment. I didn’t really receive a definitive answer on that, which is why I plan to wait and see.
From my understanding MVC doesn't charge any transactional fees included housekeeping, banking, cancellation or guest fees with the exception of a charge to split a lockoff unit in some instances.
THere are no additional housekeeping fees with DC. It is all covered somehow in the skim and in the DC annual fee. The housekeeping line item of resort budgets has also gone up considerably since the introduction of DC. So we pay for it, just not at time of reservation or stay.
No fee for locking off either for enrolled weeks.
It could cost 2900 to book what you own but you may only get 2500 for electing. This conversion program will work out well for those with prime weeks at prime resorts yielding high DC values. I may have to convert 3 SVV platinum units to get around 4500 DC points. That would be enough to possibly book a week in a one bedroom at a high resort (not prime) In the DCE. In the VSN, I can combine those units and get a week in an oceanfront studio or one bedroom in Maui and still have enough left over for a week at the Harborside.
@alexadeparis Did it miss something? Was the HRA unit enrolled or retro with a purchase or just the WSJ? The HRA was written as a resale in pen, but it also shows VSE ENROLLED.
Makes sense. Once you are enrolled (in my case Flex not weeks) and paying the DC club fee every year, can you rent DC points even if you don't convert any of your VSE ownership that year? Renting points is my personal goal in this cross-linking so I can expand my ownership into MVC on an as-needed basis without using up existing VSE options or buying DC points.
If it works like Marriott enrolled weeks, yes you can rent Club Points even if you don't elect Club Points in a given year.
They generally rent for just a little more than the maintenance fees on Trust points. You can check out www.vacationpointexchange.com to see what people are asking.
How do you join that website to do point exchanges? I tried and it said forbidden, private list. I seem to recall something about making a donation to join.
Not sure what the error you are seeing is, but you should just need to register. Similar to registering for the TUG BBS forum.
That must have been its way of saying it hated my proposed username because I changed that and it worked
VSN may be simple and it’s simplicity allowed for outsize value. DC adds complexity, but that complexity is going to be the price of having access to new resorts. VSN is never going to have more access to inventory Than it does now. And remember that a most owners do not make rational decisions (ie trading in floating week for Flex). Especially when the owners updates have their script pushed to have the benefits of using DC over VSN.

All I did was quote and agree with part of post 709. You delete me and leave it up. What goes...Moderator Note: There are two threads about this topic (this one and one in the Marriott forum) and both are getting very heavy traffic with Vistana people checking out both. The content in this post is being deleted because I'm following the lead of @DeniseM (Vistana forum moderator) to keep unhelpful/vague commentary out of the sphere, at least for now. Let's wait until everyone gets a chance to learn what needs to be learned, much of which is still unknown, and then we can all bash it to our heart's content.
