Keyed Wristbands [2015]

MVC RFID Wrist Bands (Children's Miracle Network Fundraiser)

I found this website while surfing the web. It appears to be the website that sells the MVC resort specific RFID wristbands and has photos of each resort specific band. (MVC has been using this as a fundraise for the CHildren's Miracle Network.)

Have most of the MVC Resorts been offering the resort specific wrist bands that are here in the photos? The photo of the hospital band looks very unappealing.
Hoping when we check into Manor Club next week they offer the resort specific one.

I have the Frenchman's Cove one pictured at the link you posted, but got it before the CMN fundraiser started. That said, most resorts I have been to since, have had the tacky yellow hospital type band. They could however be switching things up because when I checked into Summit Watch a couple days ago, they had the type of band in your link, but it was black and said CMN rather than the resort logo. Perhaps a happy middle ground.

In any event, I had my MFC band programmed for my room and as always, it works like a champ.

Perhaps this is where the GMs go to order the bands for their properties? Minimum order of 100 bands with no pricing.

I clicked order for a lot of 100. The price was $320 (rounded up for $319 and change). That would put them at $3.20 each. I'd assume it would cost less if they ordered them in larger quantities.

I took a look at the site. I immediately saw a band for Club Son Antem. Well we are at Son Antem now and they do not use wrist bands. Standard RFID key cards are used. I would think that the key cards are much less expensive and also more likely to be returned at checkout.

The properties charge $10 per band, which goes to charity. They don't expect them to be returned at checkout.

would be great to be able to buy one of those for $3 or $5, whatever it is. We have used the CMN hospital bands. They are super handy and we think it's a great idea, just don't like the hospital look. Would much rather have something with a resort logo on it, even if it costs a few extra dollars.

We recently stayed at Oceana Palms and Ocean Pointe. The desk at each property said that they only had the yellow CMN hospital type ones, and that they no longer had their logo ones available.

Some of the resort bands look nice! I would not mind the one with the Marriott Vacation Club Logo (perhaps another color other than white) since they can be reprogramed for other MVC resorts. I can see them being useful, especially with middle/high school age kids. Even the band with The Children's Miracle Network would be ok.

Haven't seen the yellow hospital band in person, but I doubt I would buy it, fundraiser or not (I work in healthcare).

I don't see a band with just the MVC logo on it. All of them seem to be resort specific.

On the left side click the "MVC brand standard."

Thanks, I missed that. I see those can be ordered in quantities as small as 10. Not sure if they sell to consumers, perhaps we could put an order together for Tuggers. Not to circumvent the charity, but we could order a different color than white, then we would know who other Tuggers are around the pool?

I am not a huge fan of wrist bands.
However, the idea of a Tugger identifiable wrist band which operates across multiple resorts would get my support.

LOVE IT! I'm in! Sign me up for 4 :rofl: Maybe we can have TUG inscribed on the back.

Love that idea!

Sign us up for 5 if it comes together!

TUG wristbands

I would take 5 also.

Wristband room keys

Anyone else seen the wristband room keys that we bought and used at the Harbour Pointe last month. They are waterproof and supposedly can be programmed for us any any Marriott resorts. We thought these were super convenient and at $25 for 3 with proceeds going to charity I hope they become commonplace and can be programmed for any Marriott resort.

 

[dougp26364]

I believe several resorts are now making these available. Until a thread on TUG recently, I never realized they were re-programmable and had thrown them out after our stay. From now on I'll be keeping them instead. I found them particularly valuable when staying at Ocean Pointe and Oceana Palm as I could wear my room key rather than trying to keep track of a traditional room key, which would inevitably be lost at some point during the week.

Yes, we bought them at Marriott Harbour Club in Sea Pines during our visit 2 weeks ago and LOVED these! They also had them at Barony where friends were staying.
Yes, that's our understanding that they can be programmed for any Marriott with this technology (MVC and hotels) on future stays. We just have to put them someplace safe and Remember to bring them with us. What a great and simple improvement!

We got them at Monarch and liked that they put the Monarch's butterfly logo on them.

I love when a new thread gets merged with an older one. Its like the Twilight Zone.

The real Twilight Zone is when you read a new thread and KNOW ABSOLUTELY that you've read about it before but can't find the old thread.

I was at Barony two weeks ago, purchased a navy blue one, and was told they could only be re-programmed to work at the timeshares not hotels!

that's a downside....

We are here at MOW and love the new wristbands! $10 each or 2/$15. Thought they would bother me, but don't even notice it. It is tricky getting into the parking garage because you have to have it flat up against the magnet on the gate entrance, while on your wrist. I had to open my car door to reach over and make it work.

I would normally keep something like that on my right wrist... Probably couldn't make it to the parking garage keypad like that... then if I kept it on my left wrist it would be incredibly inconvenient for every other door...

I guess I could buy two and look like a terrible Wonder Woman impersonator!

Does anyone know if these bands are offered at the Grand Chateau? I apologize if this was already answered and I missed it.
