Vistana, Westin & Sheraton Deedback program

I have my Paid off one premium. Bedroom at Sheraton Broadway Plantation in Myrtle Beach, SC every other year
highest 9-43; 47 that I been trying to deedback. They denied me twice just saying we were not talking back at this time my ownership. They didn’t specifically said it was because is an EOY. I have not heard anything back from them and I have emailed Bryan but never got back a reply from Marriott. Great resort and excellent trade power on II. I’m just reducing the weeks I own.

I sent an email asking about the possibility of deeding back an EOY unit I own in CO and I received an offer back within two days. Paperwork has been started and should be complete within 90 days.

If you haven’t reached out recently, you may want to try again.

When I approached them last fall, they did specifically tell me they weren't taking back any biennial contracts, but to check back "next year" because they might start doing so. Perhaps that time is now here!

Thanks to your suggestion, I contacted them by email once again as just like you I sent an email to them last fall and was denied the deed back option. This time they were really quick replying and offered the relinquish/deedback as an option. I immediately accepted. They say it will take 120-150 days for the process to complete, seems long but I’ll take it. So for those with yearly or biennial I weeks. They are taken them back. Let’s see how it goes.
Thanks tuggers for sharing your experiences.
 
I just received the information from MVC of what to expect. Closing it’s now estimated to be within 90 days.
Glad that I contacted them again today even they as recent as a few months back rejected to deedback.
 
Thanks for the information about Marriott accepting Deed Backs for EOY timeshares. They accepted my Sheration Desert Oasis EOY-Even timeshare. Said it might take 150 days. Hope it is only 90 days. Down to three timeshares. We had nine.

At this time of the year, you will have to pay 2020 MFs and get 2020 usage. So it won't really matter how long it takes, as long as it isn't more than say 330 days.

Wow, I’m surprised no one offered to take SDO off your hands. It’s still a great trader.

Hi
my first post on this site, thanks for all the useful information
I have been successful in being offered a deed back based on the advice given and using the email address on the forum and am awaiting the paperwork
i Live in the UK and the instructions state I need to have the paperwork notarised by the US consulate
does anyone have any advice on this process, is it simple to get done ?
many thanks in advance

It was week 6 and was a great trader. Paid $600 for it many years ago. Traveling is becoming difficult so I opt. out of many timeshares. Still have my 2 bedroom gold WKV eoy/odd.

I went to the consulate. It was easy. Found the consulate website, they had an online schedule where i made an appointment, it was done on the spot. Originally i was 3 weeks out but kept checking for cancellations and sure enough got an earlier one. Strangley, they did not allow any bags so leave everything in your car.

I'm in Canada - hopefully it's the same in UK.

very pleased to see folks who were originally rejected getting accepted now!

id like to think we had some part in that, but either way....im glad owners are finding solutions that dont involved upfront fee scammers!

That sounds about right. Our transfer documents arrived yesterday, just a month after they notified us. We signed them and sent them back this morning. The paperwork said the transaction will close within 2 weeks after they receive the signed docs.

Marriott wanted the extra year MF ... hence all the late 2019 refusals 'miraculously' getting approved now. The Marriott guy i talked to in October had informed me.

I had a very fast response from them within a few days accepting a deedback my unit is Vistana falls and i am in UK owner, the person responding to my emails is very helpful so if you are interested I would certainly give it a try, an email doesn't cost anything to ask i guess.
 
Thanks for your response which email did you sent it to
