Vacation Club Points Survey

[PerryM]

Never going to happen folks....

There is NO way that Marriott is going to tinker with the existing system while the USA teeters with a total meltdown of our economy. This is one of those things that follow the rule:

"Do 99 things right and screw up just 1 thing and its game over"

Maybe, after real estate calms down and our government gets done screwing with it Marriott will introduce a 100% sales oriented Point System but not for at least 2 - 4 years; if then.

I do, however, enjoy reading these posts once in a while and come away smiling; this is great entertainment to a system guy like me.

Happy holidays everyone.

We just did the owners update in Maui. Very nice salesperson said she didn't know anything about a new points system. I asked her about the surveys and she said that she is an owner in Maui and didn't receive a survery and hadn't heard anything about any surveys. I think she was telling the truth.

By the way, they lowered the points to 10K and the alternative dollars to $75 for attending the owners update. Still, not bad for a 30 minute update.

Here is what I think Marriott may be thinking with regards to home resort priority. Say you own at NCV and you can't book those hard to get July weeks. Those willing to pay a fee will be guaranteed one of those weeks if they pay a fee. The number of priority "passes" sold will be limited but will lock in one of those weeks for you if you book by X date. I know many people will pay for this "privilege."

That 'privilege' is not Marriott's to sell. I own the right to reserve a 7 day period in my season of ownership...they do not control who reserves that time or when someone can reserve it (outside the 'standard' rules that apply to all owners.)

Sorry - this is not Marriott's to decide - it is in my contract of sale/deed.
