I just contacted the exit team at Vistana yesterday and heard back from them in about an hour with a deedback offer (no money transfer). I've posted what I'm giving back on the free forum but I'm competing with people giving away the same thing with 2021 usage and closing costs included (which is how I acquired mine), so I'm guessing the deedback will be the exit path.

I received my checks and completed paperwork regarding two Prince deedbacks 1 month after I returned the signed paperwork. Very easy process.

My FIL and wife are trying to give back a unit they have at SBP that is in the Flex program. Against my advice they converted a unit that was paid off a few years ago! They stopped paying on it last month(April) and have contacted Vistana in Florida. The person she talked to said they would not talk to them until 3 payments were missed on the loan. I told them to write a letter explaining they have financial and health reasons for wanting out. They are in their early 70s and they are both unfit now to travel by themselves and are not worried about the credit hit they are about to receive.

I started my process to deeded back my unit December 29,2020 and it finally wrapped up April 29,2021.
Took much longer than my last one.
But I'm finally free of all my SVR.

Does anyone have an opinion if Vistana will take a deedback on a Summer SDO? My in-laws have an EOY and are trying to get out of it. I am trying to help them but hard to tell if this will be attractive enough.

Any opinions would be appreciated -- thanks!

Best,

Greg

Couldn't this be given away in the Bargain Deals forum on TUG?

Hello Jeremy, yes I think it could be and I will offer it there too -- but Deedback is easiest for her because she isn't that detailed....so just curious... thanks very much!

Greg

Hi Greg - This sure looks familiar; I can relate to her situation. I had an EOY WMH contract in late 2019 that Vistana wouldn't take back. That is, until I gave it away on the TUG Bargain Deals forum. Then they exerised ROFR and took it anyway! See my post (#210) on this thread.

Update: received transfer packets around the beginning of June, I putzed around for a month plus before getting everything signed and sealed and sent back to VSN on July 22nd via Fedex. Deeds show up as transferred on Orange County web site over the past few days. All done.

What is their contact information?

I have a friend with the same. She is still getting great trades (only Hawaii) but is not wanting to mess with timesharing any more. Did your in-laws ever start the deed back process?

They took back one of the same from me about 1 1/2 year ago. Expect you won't have a problem if paid off and no maintenance fees due.

I just called the 800 number and they are taking back one of my week 18 2 Bedroom SDO. He is sending the papers, but it will not happen until 2023.

Started Deed Back procedure for Sheraton Broadway Plantations EOY ODD on 7/23/2021 , Closed on 10/5/2021. It was easy. Now down to only 2 timeshares from eight. Sigh!

What did you give back? Too bad you couldn’t find homes for them with tuggers. I hope you didn’t give Marriott any units of value back for free!

You could probably give that away to a tugger for free.. is it a true platinum or a week 1-52? Don’t be so quick to give Marriott free inventory
