Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by John E.):

From my copy of "Offering Plan part 1.pdf" pg 94:

This only applies of Flexible Weeks, which is what my wife and I purchased. It looks like you must request a stay of 7 consecutive nights at least 12 months in advance and anything less at least 9 months in advance. I have hand-written notes (unsigned, alas) from the sales person showing that reservations for Jan-Mar should be made 1-3 months in advance and for May-Sep should be made 2-4 months in advance.

Note that if you do not (or are unable to) make a reservation, FOR WHATEVER REASON, then you get no credit to apply to a future stay. Your week reservation is lost and you have wasted your money.

"(b) Any Owner of a Flexible Ownership Interest who does not make a reservation during the priority period (12 months preceding the requested check-in date if the request is for seven (7) consecutive nights or 9 months preceding the requested check-in date if the request is for less than seven (7) consecutive nights) may not be able to obtain the requested reservation. In fact, an Owner of a Flexible Ownership Interest cannot be assured that any specific use period will be available when a reservation request is made. The earlier a reservation request is submitted, the better the chance that the desired reservation confirmation can be secured. Nevertheless, an Owner is not restricted from trying to make a reservation after the priority period and can do so at any later time during Owner's Use Year. In the event an Owner fails to reserve or use all of Owner's permitted nights of occupancy during any given Use Year, Owner's right to make use of such rights will expire. There is no accrual or carryover of unused reservation or occupancy rights from one Use Year to another Use Year. An Owner who is unable to make full use of Owner's reservation or use rights in any given Use Year is not relieved of the obligation to pay all Timeshare Charges and Real Estate Taxes assessed against the Ownership Interest. The Timeshare Board has the right to amend the Timeshare Reservation Rules from time to time as may be necessary in its opinion to improve upon the quality and operation of the Timeshare Project and to further the collective enjoyment of the use of the Timeshare Project by present and future Owners as a whole."
