From now until the end of December 2022, Vistana owners have the opportunity to Opt-in to ABOUND so that they can use the ABOUND system for 2023. I am one of the Vistana Owners that did Opt-in to ABOUND. The purpose of this video is to discuss why I did it. Not that my choice is the best for everyone, but it was good for me. Perhaps my logic will help you make your decision.
I have owned Vistana since 2007 and Marriott only since 2019. So, opting-in made sense for me so I could stay at more Marriott properties. I have my favorite Vistana locations and would like to learn a little more about the Marriott side. But Lucky for me, I also have some Vistana bonus points that can not be moved into ABOUND, so I will use those in 2023 within the Vistana network. Hope this video is helpful guiding through you decision.
