Re: Dropping of Marriott to VRI (by Carvan A.):

I suspect that in the coming months VRI will make a push to convert Cedar/Aspen owners to RCI points. I personally will resist that because I prefer a fixed week. If only a third of the Cedar and/or Aspen owners convert to RCI points the possibility of Marriott again managing Cedar and/or Aspen at the end of the VRI contract becomes even more remote.

This is an update to above post. We were invited to a meeting for Cedar/Aspen owners where VRI representatives made a pitch for Cedar/Aspen owners to convert their weeks to RCI points. We received one of those "act today or miss out" offers to convert our week to points for a one time conversion fee of $2,900. Failure to act at the time of the presentation meant that in the future one wishing to convert must first purchase another points week for $6,900 plus $1,000 to convert the old week. I am keeping my fixed week.
