SVC Owner's Update

[gandalf252002 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close gandalf252002]

On our recent stay to Carriage Hills, because it was supposed to rain we decided to attend an "Owners Update". Although I would not normally entertain the idea of purchasing, they made a very interesting offer.

As an owner, all of my points were purchased resale and do not qualify for Elite, or lifestyles benefits. What they were offering was over $10,000 however, they said they were going to convert all my non-lifestyles points to life-styles and the points would convert towards the elite level? As unlike other programs the only way to get SVC lifestyles is through the developer, so this was obviously an excellent opportunity to do this.

I realize there are very few SVC members out there, but has anyone heard of this or done this before? Is there any truth to this or would I just end up with the new points, and the program but ineligible points that could not be used for them. Obviously, there was some scepticism, as this would mean I would be getting almost $60,000 worth of "Developer quality" points for $10,000.

While I know nothing about that, I would suggest having them add an additional paragraph in the contract that states exactly what they told you. If what they are offering is legit, they should be able to do that.

I've not heard of this offer, but it's been a few years since we've sat through a marketing session. I assume it can be done (get it in writing). My bigger question would be "why"? Would this involve purchasing more points or do you already have 15K points (that's a lot of maintenance fee$)? Are the "Elite" services things that you would have use of? I doubt that I would, but then I'm not very imaginitive. Sounds like a good time to get out the yellow legal pad and draw columns for "pro" and "con". Good luck with the decision.
