My timeshare is paid in full, but I just don't want it anymore (by Lori C.):
BEWARE!!! Well, keep in mind Marriott has the first right of refusal... since they are only selling point now and many of them are backed by air ( meaning there may NOT be actual inventory to back up points. they need inventory at high demand resort that have been sold out for years . I personally know this because I live in Orlando and that is where MVCI it’s located and many people I personally know have worked for MVCI in sales or upper management. couple things to keep in mind ... The highest maintenance fees in the country are at their Orlando resorts & Hawaii. again I personally know this because the four timeshares that we owned were in Orlando and Hawaii. again said upper management or prior sales people that I know do not personally own Marriott timeshares. Hmmm...We were Chairman’s Club owners & Paid an additional fee for that “privilege“. ( this man we had an average of 16,000 VCP every year) what a joke !!! I owned 2 EOY timeshares @ Ko’olina & Waiohai beach Clubs & even that 13 months out - enabling me to book at Ko’olina did not get me Christmas week ... they claim I needed to be a platinum owner at Ko’olina !! 😧 😧😧!! Grande Vista is an older property I am when there are assessments you as an owner will pay them 😧😧😧 ... it is built out ... we no longer are Chairman's Club members... Why??? because we GAVE are two timeshares in Orlando Sabal palms and Lakeshore reserve - back to Marriott . I took them that day but no money 😧 Again why?? Because they need the inventory and the points to sell other are fools like ourselves Who additionally bought 8200 trust points. in addition they didn’t give us a minimal amount of money for or over price Hawaii timeshare properties...Both in purchase price and maintenance fees. our yearly Orlando properties were almost $2000 a year & Sabal palm was the long built out & lakeshore reserve NEVER began the long promised PHASE 2. each Hawaii timeshare was over $2200/yr & as an EOY we paid $1100/yr each. many HAWAII particularly Maui & multiple week owners have not bought into Marriott vacation club so their inventory will never be available to VCP owners!! my advice to you is don’t buy it. rent it every year like from Red Week !! or somewhere else !! You will not automatically be an MVCI owner till you do so with Marriott and be advise if you ♥️ Grande Vista and you are only going to use Grande Vista you don’t want to be an MVCI owner!! if you purchase from Marriott you will just have points !! they need the inventory !! you will overpay on cruises, u will not get the properties you want with air points, & you will never command the rental should you decide to rent it that Marriott gets!! trust me I know this we are on our for properties in 2010 & what are some of the first Marriott destination club points owners because we had a friend who sold it to us June 24, 2010. We’ve used it for a cruise just to get rid of the too many points we had & royally overpaid compared to we had bought it outright. I could go on but I won’t ... I know the point system work for Hilton because they have had it since the very beginning and have not tried to sell point without inventory to back it up 😮😮 My rant ... BEWARE!
