From a MVCI owner's roadshow presentation...
The unsold Vistana/Hyatt inventory is going into the DP trust to allow MVCI DP owners access to those properties. MVCI has no intention of integrating the existing deeded Westin or Hyatt Owners or their weeks into the DP system.
This is the first time I've heard anything about the ILG acquisition that makes any sense. MVCI has experience running a weeks and points system side by side at their resorts. It makes perfect sense for them to do it the same way for their 'new' Vistana/Hyatt properties. The only down side is that locations with little unsold inventory or locations that can't be put into the trust (e.g. Bahamas and Mexico) will be unavailable. Perhaps at some point they may allow those owners to 'enroll'...but there is no rush.
