Urgent help needed - Marriott resale week through presentation [OceanWatch Ultimate Occupancy]

[Avulasai]

They call them bundles. I don't think the OP gave the details but it's normally 3000 points plus the MVC "resale" price for the week. I think everyone can sell this type of option. You can also buy a week at places where weeks are still sold (Aruba, Spain, St. Kitt's, Costa Rica) and the resale week. Inventory comes and goes but should be the same for all locations at given moment. There are minimum spends to do so. While still more expensive, it can be a reasonable way to get into the MVC points game if one is starting from scratch. IMO there are 2 variables, the retail portion component and the resale week. It's probably more important to get a top resale week in the deal than getting the better deal on the retail side though both are important. You'll overpay for the resale week compared to buying independently but it will be enrolled. IMO it's much better to just buy the week you want resale then enroll it later but it does delay the process somewhat. For those that want to go the direct route anyway, I'd look at the weeks over points to do so as it should be modestly cheaper up front but also cheaper yearly with lower fees. So if doing so, I'd say buy a good retail week and a good resale week looking at what one will actually use, paying attention to the quality of both weeks including fees to points ratio. I'd like to keep the fees for each week down to points down around 40¢ per point or very close. As noted, not cheap. Maybe a minimum of $65K for say a Grande Ocean Platinum week and a good St. Kitt's or Aruba week. Might be able to get by a little less for Spain if they can do the same.

I think some go this route them try to cheap out on it. IMO that's a poor move. Basically they'll buy a poor week for either or even both. I this scenario a poor week might not be a bad week for other situations. For example on the retail side they'll look at something like Grande Vista as the resale week and then maybe 2 Gold instead of one Platinum for the retail portion. I believe paying attention to the fees per point will keep you on track for this situation.

While I didn’t understand some parts of this , I did end up buying a bundle or hybrid from Marriott directly .
