  • Last Minute Deals with Platinum

    Sandra,

    I have questions regarding what we call "Last Minute" inventory and how PI handles them and at what cost.

    Trading Places has there Hot Deals & Bonus weeks
    SFX has it's sell off list
    II has accomodation certificates
    even RCI devalues points required or trade power necessary.

    Here is an example:

    On your most current A...way List I found:

    AQUAMARINE VILLAS 9/10/08 9/17/08 1BD OCEANSIDE CA
    AQUAMARINE VILLAS 9/12/08 9/19/08 1BD OCEANSIDE CA
    AQUAMARINE VILLAS 9/16/08 9/23/08 2BD OCEANSIDE CA
    AQUAMARINE VILLAS 9/23/08 9/30/08 2BD OCEANSIDE CA
    AQUAMARINE VILLAS 9/30/08 10/07/08 1BD OCEANSIDE CA

    Definately last minute distress type stuff.

    When I go to your Hot Rentals Aqua is not even listed as an option.

    Moving on to Hot Nights I see this for nightly rates:


    Aquamarine Villas Southern California Beach
    Oceanside, CA
    United States 9/10/2008 9/17/2008 1BD/4 $127.50 $160.00
    9/12/2008 9/19/2008 1BD/4 $127.50 $160.00
    9/12/2008 9/15/2008 1BD/4 $127.50 $160.00
    9/14/2008 9/16/2008 2BD/6 $157.50 $190.00
    9/16/2008 9/23/2008 2BD/6 $157.50 $190.00
    9/20/2008 9/25/2008 1BD/4 $127.50 $160.00
    9/22/2008 9/29/2008 1BD/4 $127.50 $160.00
    9/29/2008 10/6/2008 1BD/4 $127.50 $160.00
    9/29/2008 10/2/2008 1BD/4 $127.50 $160.00
    9/30/2008 10/7/2008 1BD/4 $127.50 $160.00


    That doesn't appear to be a bargain at all! $930/week is nearly double the maintenance fee for a one bedroom at that property.

    I have noticed that Platinum is offering 2 for 1 bonus weeks and it appears that we could use a Bonus Week for the Aqua? With only an exchange fee ( and if warranted an applicable upgrade fee) payable? There seem to be many qualifications to use Bonus Weeks.

    I still think I am missing something. These very last minute weeks should be available to your members for a nominal fee somewhere without giving up an exchange or Bonus certificate. Like DAE's $299 weeks.

    Hello!

    We are not offering last minute deals at properties like Aquamarine Villas.

    Please click on Hot Weeks on our website www.platinuminterchange.com for you to access the participating resorts on last minute specials.
    You need to qualify for the 2 for 1 special. Where do you own at and when is your week?

    Thank you!

      Sandra I think you are missing my point but I am not missing Platinum's.

      Anything discounted at the last minute would be located in Hot Weeks, which is available to EVERYONE including people right off the street.


      Interesting that you state that the 2 for 1 Bonus week needs to be qualified. The only qualification I have seen in writing thus far is the check-in must be 120 days in advance...

      I am not asking these questions for my personal benefit at this time but for clarification of PI's rules for our 6k members of TS4Ms.
