If there was a "Wall of Shame" on TUG reserved for the most reprehensible and dishonest salespeople, this guy would be #1. I too have been through 2.5 hours of button pushing mixed with lies that turn into a 2-day nagging feeling and a ruined vacation (That's when we found TUG and saved $60K...). I seriously wish you'd out him out by name and that he got fired by MVC. The unfortunate thing is that he's probably a top salesperson and they probably don't care how he does it.
You and your husband dodged a bullet and saved a lot of money you didn't have to spend to get what you want. I just feel so bad for others who fall for these lies. Besides getting people to buy products they don't need that are worth less than 10% what they paid, it reflects extremely poorly on the industry, on MVC, and also on the more honest salespeople who deal with that fallout.
Odds are extremely high you will be allowed into the new program since you have a developer purchase. In future presentations, they will try to get you to buy more points because an Orlando week probably won't get you too far in the new system. Just remember that VSN and Interval will still be around, and you can also rent points from others as you need them at a cost very similar to point maintenance fee

"He's probably a top salesperson and they probably don't care how he does it."
Several years ago we went to a sales presentation at Frenchman's Cove to see if we wanted to add DC points. The salesperson missed a few lessons in charm school. We found him to be a curt, impatient bully. Needless to say we declined the "offer." We subsequently found out from the sales rep we had previously purchased points from that there had been a lot of complaints but because he was a top producer - in excess of $2,000,000 a year - MVC wasn't going to touch him.
