sorry if not relevant to this thread, but wonder if this is in part due to the Salesforce software they are using.
Was your sheet prepared at a Vistana sales office? How long ago? Perhaps they are adding in more data points?
Yea.
Mine shows identical to yours and was prepared at a MVC office in June. All my Vistana ownership is qualified but I think for Vistana only owners it's showing zero because they haven't loaded that ownership into the customer account they've established for each of us in the reservation system. Jeremy is a hybrid owner of both so perhaps that's why they pulled his Vistana ownership into the numbers.
Interesting that they keep track of all problems you report. I’d be curious what else is on my profile.
This is getting interesting. I don’t want to take this thread OT, but Did you get your point total at a Vistana or Marriott presentation?
I think you are right. It likely comes from the Marriott CRM system that they use for the hotels. I know on check in they can pull some preferences that are attached to my hotel profile.
The original sold price from the developer is one of the parameters in calculating DC points. Spas was most likely sold for less money than Lakes.
Theoretically that appears to be true. The mapping part for Vistana elite seems certain. However if they raise Chairman requirements above 15K as part of this launch, we don't know if they would grandfather Vistana owners with 15K into that status since they didn't technically hold that status level before they raised the requirements. No information given so far either way on this topic.
This wouldn't be considering grandfathering of your status to put you at Chairman's. Chairman's would be where you are based on your Abound ownership points. Grandfathering would be if you didn't qualify for Presidential based on points (say you only got 9,925 Abound points) but they gave you Presidential based on your 4* VSN status. That said, based on how I would expect it to work, your Abound OBL (Owner Benefit Level) will be based on the higher of the two; based on Abound points or based on VSN Star level.
Yes of course, the original Spas sold for less than Lakes because it is one of the older sections in "Phase 1" built years before Lakes & Fountains in Phase 2. I think Spas sold for around $15-16K in the mid 80's. I bought Lakes around 2010 for $21K.
When Marriott rolled out their DC program in 2010, they did use purchase price as a factor. It worked then because Marriott was still actively selling all of the properties as weeks. For Vistana it doesn't work as well because they have been selling Flex for over five years now. I could also see where Spas and perhaps some of the other phases of two and three story buildings might not get as high a point value since none of these sections have elevators. I think Spa also lacks the top floor vaulted ceilings and skylights? So perhaps some of those things are also taken into account when determining point values? It will be interesting to see how many points they allocate to the other phases.
Owning deeded Westin Ka'anapali is much too valuable to ever turn into Marriott DP. You will never get the same value.
Looks like it worked. I got an email about the comment and went in and updated the cell.
Did you buy Spas from the developer or did you buy resale and paid the special assessment in 2007 to enroll the week? I am surprised by the $15-$16K which you thought it sold for in mid 80s. I bought my Lakes 2BR L/O in 1996 for $11K.
My FIL bought the Spas week resale in early 1990's for about $6K. He dropped the ball and didn't grandfather it in to the VSN in 2007, tho' he did pay the special assessment. He was more concerned about finding homes for his timeshares, since my in-laws had stopped travelling. Or maybe the concept of network internal trading was brand new then, and he didn't understand it. We accepted the unit from him in 2008-09 or so. I remember seeing the resale documents that listed the original $15K purchase price along with owners names. I think the Spas were originally sold by the Vistana developer. Then Sheraton/Starwood came in and purchased the resort.
What is your fixed week?
Week 49, but floats 1-52.
Aren't all Lagunamar units Oceanview? Some are even Oceanfront. Is that what you are asking about?
