The Riviera POS deeds fewer rights to direct buyers. That’s how they can eliminate trading out for resale buyers. It’s no longer a deeded right. It’s now a “perk for direct buyers only” (subject to change)
It’s like DVC “lite”
People have been thinking this is a way to hurt resale, but I think that misses the bigger picture. By giving away fewer rights in the POS, it puts them in a position to charge everyone for these “perks” down the road.
Would they ever do this? They did with valet parking!
What if they could start charging for something really valuable once the resort is sold out?
Trading out to DVC?
Priority booking?
Access to certain room types?
Access to certain times of the year?
Ability to book in advance?
Ability to book last minute?
What do you think? How much can they water down the POS and stay legal?
