Vistana, Westin & Sheraton Deedback program

I’m helping a family member get rid of their TS at the Sheraton Cascades in Florida. Does anyone know if that resort is part of the deed back program?

The only way to know is to contact Marriott Vacations. It costs nothing. Though the family member will probably need to be the one to do it.
 
I own a 1 week, annual 2bdm lock off at Desert Willows (81,000 opt) and a Flex week (81,000 opt) and need to sell/ give back. Is there any advantage of determining their current value as a negotiating tool in dealing with the buyback process? Is there truly no value? I’m hearing Marriott needs to buy these back because they have nothing else to sell. And I’m seeing option costs ranging around .566 per option

Is it Westin Flex? If so, it might have a little, and I mean a little value. Perhaps a couple thousand, but you might be lucky to give at away. If it is Sheraton Flex, then it will have $0 resale value. The 2BR Desert Willow is only Gold Plus season, thus has $0 value given the maintenance fees.

No , i had pretty much same thing. If you can get them to take back for free you will be lucky. There is no negotiating.

WDW - no value. If Westin Flex - some value.
MVC takes them back for no cost (w/ mortgage and MF paid) and sell at full price. What a great business! What other business does this?
