Are they still doing it if you buy something else or its completely stopped now?
When did you buy???They offered enrollment to us @ Willow Ridge during Labor Day weekend.
I believe the external post-2010 resale weeks enrollment promotion ended a couple of months ago - July or August as I recall. When we were in Palm Desert last month it was not an option for our two external weeks. We were told they might offer it again next summer, as they have for the last four years or so.
To enroll post 2010 resale weeks with MVC trust points purchased ended in July. There is nothing available right now to enroll standard Marriott weeks. It will probably be next year and they will offer it again.Are they still doing it if you buy something else or its completely stopped now?
You never know, 2 places told us the same thing - that they will never offer it again, lol, so who knows the true story.

If their lips are moving, they're lying....I would bet it will be again around the same time next year.
@LUVourMarriotts how did you find out about the program and what did it cost? Feel free to Pm me.In July, 2019, we used this program to enroll our external resale week. That external week was purchased in August 2018.
3000 points to enroll one week.@LUVourMarriotts how did you find out about the program and what did it cost? Feel free to Pm me.
Thanks for the info.3000 points to enroll one week.
We don't own any weeks,just points. The offer for enrollment was contingent on the purchase of a hybrid package........we declined......It was a decent deal,but we weren't willing to take on any debt.When did you buy???
I have a week from 2018 I would like to enroll.
Or a "comparable" weeks purchase as some resorts like Aruba or St. Kitt's which is likely cheaper up front and cheaper fees in many cases than points. We enrolled 7.5 weeks with a purchase earlier in the year which was about 20% cheaper than the required points purchase, will be 30% cheaper on for fees and is a week we'll likely use about 50% of the time. Still a chunk though.3000 points to enroll one week.
How many Aruba or St Kitt weeks that you needed to purchase to enroll 7.5 weeks?Or a "comparable" weeks purchase as some resorts like Aruba or St. Kitt's which is likely cheaper up front and cheaper fees in many cases than points.

One or 2 depending. I purchased a single Platinum 3 BR OV unit at SC. The first offer was 2 gold weeks and the second (when I said no) was a single 2 BR OS at OC plus 250 points. I said yes but they later offered the 3 BR instead which was a better deal for me personally. On paper the OC might have been better assuming you could reserve one of the highest end weeks not included with SC but in reality it likely isn't possible in my situation to take advantage of that opportunity as you would almost certainly have to reserve several weeks in a row at the 13 month window to do so. And I'll use the 3 BR itself about half the time.How many Aruba or St Kitt weeks that you needed to purchase to enroll 7.5 weeks?
That is such a great deal, purchasing one week to enroll 7.5 weeks. That is very nice.One or 2 depending. I purchased a single Platinum 3 BR OV unit at SC.

It fit my needs and wants but I was already enrolled so I would have been fine without doing so and in some ways one could judge it not worth it. I went back and forth but my plan is to split our ownership in 2 and have 2 larger contracts with 2 rewards upgrades instead of one plus I personally am Lifetime Titanium with rewards on top of that which is why I have my wife listed as the primary and her rewards number on our MVC account.That is such a great deal, purchasing one week to enroll 7.5 weeks. That is very nice.
