Manhattan Club Internet Offers (by Chris V.):

barbara d,

please consider doing the following:

email/contact/involve TMC reservation department, with copies to all board of directors members, of the necessity for positive action in owners' behalf regarding the CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19 and the timing adjustments for our reservations (in accorance with CDC GUIDLINES). writing of our individual tales of woe here on redweek is valuable to an extent. contacting the source of our dismay and resolution of owners' rights will hopefully prove more effective with desired and deserved results.

don't wait for a future time to email/contact the reservation dept with your request for a reservation time extension. do it now as you're still thinking (bothered/annoyed) about it. this is not something that's a matter of choice on TMC's part. it's a matter of following CDC GUIDELINES. if TMC's response to our need for a reservation time extension isn't honored, the CDC should then be notified of TMC's defiance of its guidelines.

personally, i doubt that not paying the exponentially exorbitant maintenance fees will affect our need for a reservation time extension. i think getting the request for an extension under these dire health circumstances has a better chance of being honored with a strongly-worded demand to the RESERVATION DEPT AND ALL MEMBERS (BOTH SPONSORED AND NON-SPONSORED) OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, prominently referencing the CDC GUIDELINES. of the three non-sponsored members of the board of directors, also a TMC an owner, robert ballot, is the member who answered my email to the reservation dept. (i cc'd him and others my email,) i hope my current faith and confidence in him to work in owners' behalf remains throughout this extension request process.

should you decide to email the reservations dept, my strong suggestion is to send a cc to the following board members:

timeshareboard@manhattanclub.com (management board members) patti.tmcny@gmail.com (patricia soltys, non-sponsored) jdunphytmcny@outlook.com (james dunphy, non-sponsored) bbb174@aol.com (robert ballot, non-sponsored)

i hope other owners in this reservation extension predicament will follow suit in making similar requests to TMC reservations dept.

our issues will not begin to be solved unless and until we all act proactively and soon.

let us know of your interaction regarding this matter.

Why does it come as no surprise that once again we long-time owners who are paying exhorbitant annual maintenance fees (far greater than staying in any one of many hotels in NYC of equal quality) are being treated so VERY unfairly and rudely! We had reservations for next weekend and cancelled way back at the beginning of the first advice to stay-at-home; our reservation year ends mid June and we were refused to make future reservations beyond that date. We, too, were advised that managment was still considering future course of action but that we would not be given a replacement reservation beyond June, 2020. Even the airlines are offeriing cancelled resevations to be used up to year 2022. Being once again disappointed and also furious, we have advised that we will not pay our annual dues, which we have paid on time for 20 years, until and unless we get satisfaction! PERHAPS if every single owner joined in not paying it could possibly be a wake-up call?
