Sadly, that is long gone...it provided some of the best and CHEAPEST extra weeks ever.
We used it to get shoulder season weeks at Hilton Head (Grande Ocean), Orlando's Grande Vista,
Fall weeks in Williamsburg, and many more on a regular basis.

First they started blacking out the Hilton Head weeks altogether,
then the program phased out completely. The Accommodations Certificate thing now is practically unusable
due to awful selections listed, and so I never even look at the Choose 2 either, for fear it's worthless.
I never hear it mentioned.

Several years ago we got a number of spectacular weeks for FREE under the XYZ program. They were shoulder or off season weeks, but we like to travel then. Used XYZ's to go to Marriott timeshares in Park City (Summit Watch), Fort Lauderdale, Williamsburg (original section multiple times), Myrtle Beach, Orlando (Grande Vista), Singer Island (Ocean Pointe) and Phoenix. All were 2BR units except Fort Lauderdale where we could only get a 1BR. If they still had XYZs, we would likely still be using Interval for more than the occasional Getaway we purchase now. The replacement program does not offer this ability, and in fact I have been told that almost all Marriotts are excluded from this program.
