Also, in St John, you will probably want to rent a vehicle (pricey). In Cancun, you don't need one.

I am doing an owners update tomorrow in Lagunamar, anyone has any questions for them?

Dont really know what to expect, have no interest in buying really but wanted the gifts...
IF possible, might buy some SPG points if they have a nice price

We did the owners update at WLR in December. They offered us 6500 SPG pts or $100 resort credit. I really didn't jump for joy on either. We took the resort credit so we can at least enjoy happy hour more often. I would never do a tour for only 6500 points, and plus, I thought that was a little low - probably because I am SVO elite. They were low pressure and polite and professional and we were out in 90 minutes.

We didn't learn anything new other than new hotels or resorts being constructed, including "no" on Aruba. They cited it wasn't "a good business decision." After that it was off to meet with the explorer package guy but I didn't need to buy anything since my current weeks are enough.....

More than 6500 points for a meeting. Where did this happen? I haven't had a meeting in a few years but the most I was ever offered was 5000, IIRC.

6500 is the non owner rate I think.
That's what we got at WLR last year and down the timeshare rabbit hole I went.

Oh yes, please ask if that Platinum Plus week for $37k still available. The salesperson said the prices would be much much higher if I did not sign and buy right away but waited a year!!!!!!

Funny.....I already own a Plat Plus week there and that's all they offered. They gave me 10,000 points last March. Glad I opted for the resort credit. - bought many more 2 for 1 HH drinks.

My problem with their 241HH is that it uses the aweful well bottles, add the well bottles to the premade mixers and I did not have a single good drink from the swim up bar.

The vacation improved greatly after I took a trip to the supermarket bought a bag of ice, some juices, fresh fruits and better quality spirits (a bottle of your second cheapest tequilla my good man) and started blending.

We (owners) received 6500 starpoints last week at WLR...easily worth $130 or more when used for 5th-night free stays in hotels in Europe (we have Barcelona booked for April, and Amsterdam Pulitzer booked for July).

In Colorado we got 8000 spg in Dec 2012.

This meeting was a great plus for us. No news though.
But my parents in law was with and their English knowledge is ok but not great. They are not owners but I am and they could leave after the tour of the site, 60min or so. Then they focused me pretty hard but when I said I was on tug they was a bit, how to say, understanding or something when I said that IF I would buy from the developer I wanted also a resale to grandfather in.

2 couples, 200usd voucher and 2 discounts on activities. Totally saved around 400 usd since we are 5 and all got discount on both activities. I must say it was worth it! Not pushy and polite, well, not THAT pushy

I read this now so sorry, didn't ask for the price on those..
