DVC Survey

[daisyduck2]

I received a DVC survey today asking what additional benefits would impact my decision to purchase DVC. Two of the options posted concerned me as current owner.
1 - early booking for a fee. Which would allow booking 12 months in advance
2 - booking based on number of points owned
I am noy happy with either potential option as both take away the even playing field for all owners.
Did anyone else receive this survey?

Not a fan. It says “up to”, wouldn’t be shocked to see tiers.
At $X you can book non home resort at 8 months, at $XX you can book non home at 9 months, etc
Don’t think they can get ahead of home owner priority, and everyone is supposed to be on a even playing field with first come first serve

I hope I get that survey - I’d definitely say NO to paid early booking and to booking based on number of points owned.

That last-minute deals offer sounds good, though, even though I doubt I’d be able to take advantage of it. Sounds like instead of renting out breakage for cash they’d let members use points.

I did not get this. I would like there to be a place for notes so I could give them a piece of my mind.
If they implement #1 most members will lose their minds.
I could get on board with #3.
As for #2 if I owned Hilton Head Id not be happy they are even floating this as a potential, pay massive dues and then non owners can book at 11 months, crazy.

What was the title of the email so I can be on the lookout for it?

That’s disturbing. I own BWV and love the boardwalk view, I would be forced to pay extra for 12 months to get it. It goes against the original contract we signed.

I haven't received the survey. I can't believe that they would even consider having us pay to reserve our home resort. I get that it's month early, but it's still ridiculous.

Is Hilton Head desperate for guests?

I don't like #1 at all. An early booking fee sounds like it would be one of those items that would be available with the Magic Membership Beyond (or whatever it's called). If so, that would only be available for direct owners. I don't know if that is where they would go with that service, but yikes, that sounds awful for resale members.

What was the specific question on booking based on number of points owned? If they did that, it would pave the way for rewarding those with mega points that do commercial rentals.
