For the most part, I have no issues with my 11 month booking windows for the resorts I own, especially since we don’t travel during the super busy times. I don’t think the deeded weeks are a good option for us. The flexibility of the system is what makes it attractive, not being locked into a particular set of travel dates for all eternity. And, yes, I’m aware that deeded week owners can use the points at other times, but they’re paying extra for dates in which we have zero interest.13 years into the MVC trust program and it seems that point owners are the ones that complain about being able to make reservations and deeded weeks owners are still quite happy. Some weeks owners have a few complaints but overall owning deeded weeks at the resort you want to go to is still the best option and will probably always be the best option. Trust programs allow the developer to package up underperforming resorts and sell them as something new, shiny and great, when the reality is much different.
So I quite disagree with deeded weeks “always being the best option.“ And, yes, I’m familiar with the motivation behind trust programs, but it doesn’t seem beneficial in any way, and it might very well prove to be in some way detrimental, to deeded owners.
