Re: Marriott Vacation Club New Policy - Can’t Do Rentals? No long can change the primary guest name for Ownership Week Reservation? (by Annkr):
We have a confirmed Redweek Marriott Hawaii rental that is less than 30 days out. I did fill out the MVC name change form, and spoke to a MVC associate before that on Thursday, and he never mentioned any 30 day name change ban. I had already the changed confirmation and will call MVC Monday, as I am worried about the renter backing out if they are actually serious about that!. We have been pretty happy Marriott owners for over 20 years, and at Chariman's level have more points and weeks than we can use ourselves. The current week rented is because I had knee replacement surgery and am no where close to wanting to go to Hawaii in August. It was to be for family anyway but put them on Redweek when the timing didn't work out. We have been promised in multiple "presentations" that the rental option was one of the best reasons to go ahead and add more points or weeks. Of course we never did it for that reason, but it has been a nice occasional back up for years when travel was restricted.
I think everyone needs to call to let our shock with this belated announcement ! We already had the week and rental in place. How can they retroactively do that?
