Well - good news for those of us who were skeptical about doomsday for SVN was here.
Just finished up with a presentation here at WKV. Was an interesting presentation and the salesman was practically begging me to buy (best incentives I've seen) - I'll post more details when I have additional time.
A few interesting observations:
1) WFlex was not really pushed at all - instead the push was to sell WKV weeks (plat and gold were all available). My understanding from TUG was that they were not selling individual weeks any longer - only Flex. He said weeks were only being sold on site at WKV.
2) Has anyone heard of "Linking Credits"? Apparently there is a $1500 credit if you stay in a Marriott hotel within the next seven days (I asked him to clarify whether he meant "up to $1500" and he said it was $1500 as long as I had a one night stay in a Marriott property within the next 7 days. The purchase form had a space for this beside spaces for Encore package redemption and trade-ins but I assume it was hot air. I have two separate stays within the next seven days after I check out here which will come to around $700. I wasn't buying anything but I had never heard of this credit.
3) They will take trade-ins in certain circumstances but are being quite selective. No lower-season or EOY weeks.
