Every one seems to be stuck on the 9 months booking. There are TOOOOO many members for it to work, NOW. His original premises of splitting your week into 7 weekend/year was good till he changed the plan after you purchased, now "you have to stay at least an additional day" to include a Friday or Saturday. bringing it to 3 weekends a year, as he added more member to the formula the booking make it to 9 months policy. It worked for a while till more members were added and he started to bring more reservation with advertisement. When I purchased my unit, I was told that ONLY MEMBER were allow to reserve space at the MC. I think greed has played a role in what is happening. And, we as consumers are paying for it.

davidh, "i think greed has played a role in what is happening,"

dear david, GREED IS THE ONLY MOTIVE INVOLVED HERE. EICHNER IS HELL BENT ON BUILDING A REAL ESTATE EMPIRE WHICH HE SEEMS TO BE DOING MIGHTY SUCCESSFULLY!. and you're right on the mark concerning the bull****9 month rule. mazarati continues to compare THE MANHATTAN CLUB with other much larger franchises such as hilton and marriott that he says has this 9 month thing. that may be so, but the comparison fails concerning THE MANHATTAN CLUB, in light of the fact that all purchasers were lied to and scammed at the very beginning of the sales presentation. they were led to believe that reservations would be made on availability, notwithstanding any 9 month rule. my agreement with mazaratti is only that it appears to be easier to book a whole week than it to book 1,2,three nights at a time, which makes the nine month rule an even weaker issue. OWNERS DESERVE AVAILABLE TIME, WITHOUT HAVING TO BOOK 9 MONTHS, SOMETIMES MORE, OUT. OWNERS DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS. also our maintenance fees should be no higher (and probably much lower) than $2,000+++++per week. the current obscene, immoral and exorbitant fees are lining the pockets of thieves and owners are seeing little, if any, benefit from paying them. we need to be more creative in our attempts to oust those who control THE MANHATTAN CLUB BOARD OF DIRECTORS, and build it with people who care about owners' interests rather than with those who are content to continue to defraud us and to be concerned only to satisfy their own greedy agendas.
