Re: Marriott Vacation Club New Policy - Can’t Do Rentals? No long can change the primary guest name for Ownership Week Reservation? (by Annette C.):

Hi all - we are furious about this change. We own 4 weeks of 2 bedroom lock-offs in Hawaii and have always been able to use 2 weeks for ourselves and rented out the other two to friends or on Redweek.

We are super distressed and have had a 2 room oceanfront on Redweek for a month with no bites, as well as a 1 room oceanview and a studio oceanview.

We have reduced the price to less than half of what we earned on them in previous years and then yesterday got an email from Marriott stating changes to the Guest of Owner process and advising that no changes can be made within 30 days of arrival. Today when trying to extend our post for one of these weeks a new pop-up came up on the Full Service posting process with Redweek that bookings cannot be made within SIXTY days of arrival.

What gives? I can't believe there are not more entries on these forums. How can this be changed with no notice and no input from owners? Can anyone advise on Class Action Lawsuit options - or any actions anyone else has tried to take about this?
