Okay, the title may be a little misleading. We didn't buy any Flex points or weeks but we did, for only the second time ever, bought an Encore package. If you watched my live stream from SVV on YouTube, you may already know this.
The guy selling them told us that when Vistana switched over to the Encore Packages after the takeover by Marriott, that they decreased the prices by 70%. Now the price we paid wasn't 30% of the old prices. Back when we took a tour last year, the price of the Explorer Package was about $1900, you got four nights and 100,000 Bonvoy Points. We paid $994 total after down payment and monthly payments. It seemed like a decent deal to help replenish out Bonvoy account points. We have paid more in MFs to convert our Marriott weeks to only 90,000 points a few years ago.
