Todays sales presention info

[goaliedave]

95 minutes, everyone super polite, no hard sell. 2 docs copied here.

I am interested in 2 locations, both have studios, so 1500/2000 points would meet my needs. To help understand the calcuations attached, starts at $14,54 pp but discounted to$13.80/$13.08.

Incentives:
- as i have a Marriott hotel reservation coming up within 30 days, i get $2,000 off.
- permanent Bonvoy Gold Elite
- 3000/4000 1 time points valid for 3 years
- 1500/2000 1 time points if i use their financing
- nothing for my existing Vistana

Sampler: $995 for 4 nights poor choices (+$300 to include Hawaii etc) + 50,000 Bonvoy points. Bad deal compared to Vitana and Diamond Resorts Samplers

Their guess is fall for any integration announcement.

So, immediately, I noticed this: " permanent bonvoy gold". It is not permanent, it is only for as long as you own enough points. So, if you bought it today, and a year from now sold it, you lose that automatic minimum status.

As far as the $995, depends where the locations are. For me, I always get at least a penny a point, so, 50,000 points is worth a minimum of $500 to me. That reduces the price you could say to $495, which may or may not be worth it.

Having a hard time following the document there. Is it $18,700 for 2000 points?

I would not buy for studios and I'd wait a while to see what integration options you have. If I were going to buy, I'd go resale, cheaper and you lose nothing except the incentives which are not worth the difference IMO.

Hey Steve... sorry the docs didnt come thru great. Maybe the salesperson used a magic pen lol.The calculations go down the left side, first one 1500 points x $13.80 = $20,700 - $2,000 = $18,700.

Second page 2000 points x $13.08 = $26,160 - $2,000 = $24,160.

Just catching up on integration threads. You're right i could be best to just wait.

The 4000 one time points could be valued around $2,500, FYI
