So, if anyone wants to be on the list, please send me your name/address/phone and I will add you to my frienship list.

I just got back from Princeville and like smcmona, got in on the Maui SVO. Funny, they also upgraded me to a Junior Suite. Deja vu?

I'm planning my honeymoon for July 2006 right now and wasn't really thinking of doing Hawaii, but this seems like it could be too good to pass up. Could I do one and my future wife do one? For example, 5 nights in my name at Princeville, followed by 5 nights in Maui in her name?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

I just got my flights confirmed finally, but received my card a long time ago...there was no way i could reserve anything at that time, but I still want to use the offer as well as probably attend the presentation (believe it or not
).
I hope they still have open dates during late september

I got an offer a year ago for Maui and about a month ago for Kauai. When I called, I accidently called the Maui number. They still had my name in the computer a year later. You have a lot of time. They still let me do it. They say that so you will call asap.

Anyways, if you would like to get the Princeville offer, please PM me your name, address, phone, and email and I'd be happy to get it to the SVO folks. I plan on sending the info in no later than July 26 so let me know ASAP.

Wow, talk about a pile of responses! I've gotten a bit buried under all of these so as of this post, I'm no longer taking any more names.
Everyone who has PM'd me already is either on the list or I've contacted you to collect missing information. My apologies, but I don't have time to respond to each of you individually. As soon as I hear back from the people I've contacted, I'll send the list in.

No pressure for the timeshare sell

So maybe room assignments depend on this? If one were assigned the worst room in the hotel (i.e., refused to attend the presentation) would this still be a good deal?
Edited to add: It is clearly targeted because when I told them my name (and no SPG info, not even my number), they fed my address back to me for "confirmation."

They ask all of their guests if they want to attend the presentation, in exchange for play money at the spa, etc. We said no, and that was the end of that.
