Author Topic:   Upgrade Silver week ArBravesFan TUG Member Posts: 90 From: White Hall, AR, Marriott Ocean Point, Horizons by Marriott Branson, MO Registered: Jun 2004 posted 05-09-2005 11:05                I own a silver week at Ocean Point. Does Marriott have a process where you can pay to upgrade from silver to gold or platinum? Any info from TUGers would be appreciated. Thanks!

They seem to tweak this program constantly so you should contact a Rep to confirm the 60% and 15K are the current numbers.

I believe it is $15,000 over the current value or selling point of the resort you are selling. Therefore, if the silver week is going for $12,000, you would have to buy something that is at least $27,000.

I would still check with Rep since this equity upgrade program seems to constantly change.

However, your trade-in value is some fraction (60% ?) of the lower priced week so your net cost to up-grade is somewhere beyond $15,000.

At Fairway Villas, Marriott will only allow you to upgrade using a Platinum week. Many Gold and Silver weeks do not qualify for the upgrade program - be sure to check with Marriott to see if they are interested before you get your hopes up. ------------------ Pat My Trips and Travel Website - Pictures and More...

The 15 K increase never applied to upgrades in your home resort. Also, they were accepting silver Ocean Pointe weeks as trades last December. However, as others have stated, Marriott constantly change the terms of the program and what they accept as an upgrade, so you do need to check with Marriott. IP: Logged
