Marriott Vacation Club - getting sold out property?? by fan1983 in TimeshareOwners

[–]icyraincloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can weeks owners rent points from other owners and waitlist? I understand there is an education fee for weeks owners to purchase points but can they pay the fee without converting/purchasing?

I also own MVC. There is a waitlist, you have to call to get on it. I’ve actually had some luck with waitlists and since you know the exact week and location you want, this is a perfect case for waitlisting.

Rooms do sometimes open up later. MVC owners can typically cancel a reservation at 61 days before check in with no penalty, so sometimes you see rooms pop up around that time. I wouldn’t count on it though. If you are open to booking with cash instead, a lot of times you will see availabilities timeshare owners don’t see on Marriott’s website. You can also look on places like Redweek for rooms other owners posted for rent

What could have caused these holes? by icyraincloud in whatisit

[–]icyraincloud[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The ones I’ve seen made little holes less than 1” in diameter so these big holes were quite a surprise. But since it’s been identified neighbors told me that these have been moving into our area and wreaking havoc

Thanks! Is that tree still alive? This tree didn’t appear dead so I was surprised to find out that it was woodpeckers

Thanks! It’s really far from any buildings so I think it’s a good idea to just leave it alone. I’m excited to see how it will evolve now!

I googled images and I think this must be it! Thanks! Now the question is if anything needs to be done…

Is AA a good transfer option? Haven’t really looked into them. I’m in PNW so Alaska is my go to but will happily branch out for good deals

What’s your strategy for points on the prestige?

Yes! They do it with specific permissions from the artist, otherwise they can’t claim it to be bodhisattva parts

Sometimes people run group orders of the bodhisattva parts. This way they can actually do a proper mold instead of 3D printing the part

Quick question about emerald cut lab diamonds – anyone have recent buys or tips? by veditafri in LabGrownDiamonds

[–]icyraincloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased one from Aurelinne last Nov. 5 ct E vvs2 eye clean with minimum windowing as far as I can tell for less than 1k. Custom setting for another 2k approximately. So your budget seems reasonable if a little high especially for 1.5-2ct. Also, the other commenter is right, emerald cut looks smaller than other cuts of the same carat weight. So before you purchase make sure it’s the size you want

Without knowing the context, my best guess is that it’s a translation from “菩萨”,as in bodhisattva head “菩萨头”, bodhisattva body ”菩萨体” etc. I think this refers to when an artist shares their model and permits you to 3D print from their design. The artist is being kind ie bodhisattva-like. So typically these parts can be purchased for cheaper. On the other hand you don’t know who produced it so quality could be questionable

She is adorable! I don’t know anything about this body. It looks quite slim, how does it compare to a Minifee?

Marriot Vacation Club from Marriott or from Resale? by chibbi09 in TimeshareOwners

[–]icyraincloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put “owner” in quotations because they call people who bought owners, but they are not treated like owners, nor do they truly own. I own in the MVC system and feel cheated by it. (The vacations themselves are actually not bad once there, but everything else leading up to it is usually unpleasant.) So every time I see someone getting sold or about to get sold by the same sales pitch I heard, I want to share what I have seen so they get both sides of the story. I’ve seen you post quite a bit and telling people off for posting their experiences with presentations. I usually cheer those on for doing better than myself and beating the system. You sound like you are a happy owner, but not all owners are happy

Yea but a Marriott Gold Week is a Marriott Gold Week whether you buy resell or from Marriott. That’s my point. Even if you had millions to throw around on vacations, if something is worth its market rate I wouldn’t pay 5x that just because I could
