Good morning everyone. Yesterday, I received an email from the Westin Vacation Club (WVC) for a timeshare presentation at the beautiful Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa in Palm Springs, CA. The timeshare deal is for 5 days / 4 nights + your choice of 5,000 SPG Points or a $75 resort credit for only $349. This offer is not supposed to be transferrable, but if you are interested, try calling the number below or filling out the form on this page.
The swimming pool and golf course look pretty nice :) If you want to see some photos of the property, click here.
Paid rates for the first 5 days in December are pretty cheap at $136 / night with no special rates or discounts.

SPG Platinum status benefits honored during the stay?
No, I don’t think so. SPG elite status doesn’t get you anything at timeshare properties.
