THESE DEALS ARE INCREDIBLE. Only one per resort per customer can be purchased.

Interesting. So no new EOY ownerships? Perhaps something is in the works, or just more babble like the no more lock offs? We all know that was a lie.

This all has to do with the points system that you don't think is happening. For some reason, they won't be able to convert these EOY to points.

If that is the case they are already making it so a fairly large portion of the unit base won't be able to convert. Not a good sign if your statement is true. It may already be doomed to fail without even being announced. Almost every other point system can accommodate EOY weeks, so I don't know why Marriott couldn't, just give half the number of points. Quite simple really. If it does have anything to do with a points system it is just a spin on words. Sure you can still buy EOY weeks in the future by just buying enough points to go ever other year.

I still think nothing will happen come June, July, or for quite some time.

Pardon my ignorance but what is the significance of the three numbers listed for each property (i.e. Newport Beach, CA Platinum $15,360 $7,680 $592)

I agree with Fletch -- they are blowing out deeded properties while they can -- it's also a clever way to sell annual usage (ie, I'll take an odd EOY and an even EOY).

I asked my Marriott rep if I could make a low ball offer on an Ocean View at Ko Olina before May 31st, and his response was these EOY offers that I mentioned in a different thread -- now apparently across the system. The sad thing is that even these discounted prices aren't compelling enough.

Fascinating stuff....

From the first post:

Season; Promo Price; Savings; HOA

Your listing above is for Newport Coast in the Platinum season: the purchase price is $15,360 which is $7,680 off the "regular" price. The HOA (or mf) is $592/year.

Sorry, but I think these prices are a joke. I have gone to Timber Lodge the last three years (between November and December 21) for $350 for the entire week (one-bedroom, with full kitchen/fireplace, etc.). I recently reserved a week, two-bedroom, starting October 22, for $650 (see II). There are lots of cheap weeks you can rent on II for less than the maintenance fees. So why bother buying?

It's quite interesting how you opinions are never based on facts and solid information yet you say them with conviction. Are you in politics LOL ?

This is the problem that Marriott and many other developers are having. Why bother buying? It is far cheaper to pick up cheap off season weeks for rental. I think for the most part, Marriott has low prime inventory and lots of shoulder and off season weeks. Those are what they are having a hard time unloading.

Maybe with all those offseason week, they could develop a system where you buy no specify season. You know, just give more credits to prime season than off-season. I know, they can call it a credit system. You get the point ?

If they think they have unhappy owners now with II, I think they will have even more with a credit system. Not only are those people who can't get the reservations they currently want, now there are even more people who now own credits vying for those same weeks. So now the new buyers are unhappy because they can't get the prime weeks they want. The old owners can't get what they want either because there are now more people vying for those same weeks. A recipe for disaster.

Yeah- I unfortunately do. But if they eliminate home resort priority, won't you have lots of owners vying for a limited number of premium weeks? I understand the advantage to Marriott of course, and I understand that points may offer more flexibility and fairer internal trades. However, isn't there a very real issue of it being more difficult to reserve the week you want at what was purchased as your home resort?

Of course, although Perry may have overstated it, it allows Marriott to create the illusion at least that the buyer can reserve those long ago sold out Plat. Plus weeks as long as they have enough points. Weeks systems limits sales to the number of units there are (by the deeding designation for inventory purposes) but points systems allow a finite number of points per resort but creates the illusion, at least, of reserving any subset of the 52 weeks that the developer wants to promote.

I'm not so sure I want to be competing with owners who have pooled their points together when booking my week. For me at least, home resort advantage will be a big determinant of whether the system has appeal.

With the two points systems I'm familiar with, one doesn't offer an EOY ownership option (HGVC offered it last I knew). If Marriott releases a trust based ownership without home resort advantage, EOY ownership might not be necessary or practical. Rather than own EOY, you'd buy half the points necessary for your needs, then save or borrow the points from another year for your reservations. Thus, you can use your points EOY but, you have to manipulate them in order to do it.

I routinely save points with DRI and then borrow them back as the reservations I want become available. While it's simple enough to do, it's a little more complex than what I would want to get into with this thread. It's best to just wait and see what Marriott offers before speculating to far on what may or may not be possible.

I have far less difficulty getting the resevations I want with DRI or Hilton's points based systems than I have with Marriott's week's based system. Depending on what Marriott releases I suspect there will be more happy owners than unhappy owners. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing what they offer. I've said many times if Marriott could put something out there similar to Hilton's product, they'd have the best timeshare product in the world.

Let me see if I understood it right:

*currrent price for EOY: $15,360
*savings: $7,680
*regular price for EOY: $23,040
*price for a EY: $46,080
*eBay price for the same EY week: $8,000 to $10,000.

Am I missing something?

BTW, Newport Coast weeks (Platinum and even Gold) still hold a great value on the resale market.

Mostly correct. The price of an EOY is actually 60% of the EY price. So your EY price won't quite be the double you show in your example. The EY price is actually $38400.

Any EOYs? I own 2 EOYs, different locations. Lets say they offer a buy in, would I be excluded because I only own EOYs?

That is the impression that Fletch gave.

That Vegas price is hysterical, given that I've seen an EY 2BR lockoff go for $6,000 on ebay.

my marriott sales rep tried to offer me the same deal saying this is it for eoy.
I was in a rush and told him I would think about it but I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I bought eoy MOC for a fraction of his previous price.

I also wished I would have asked him if he knew anything about the points system but then I figured I would get more info on TUG since all he would do would probably give me the old line that he didnt know anything.

This is all getting so old. I wish Marriott would finally come out with something definitive.

Well I bought resale eoy at MOC and this is what I wanted and got a great price and they cant takeaway my ability to go to Maui eoy no matter what they do.

I bought where I wanted to vacation!!

The price is 40% of an annual unit.

Marriott has sent me this offer before. They offered to sell me the "other half" of any timeshare at 40% since I paid 60% for the first half of Legends Edge. It looks like they are running the special again.

The Shadow Ridge Enclaves platinum looks like a good deal IMO.

So the prices quoted are actually only 40% of the EY price? If so that makes the EY prices even higher than I mentioned in my post.

$15,360 is 40% of $38,400. You had it correct for NCV.

Makes sense now. So they are just discounting the EOY weeks across the board and not having the requirement like you indicated where you had to currently own an EOY week in order to get the 40% deal?
