    Buying a 2BD vs 1 BD at Lawai Beach Resort

    Can anyone offer advice. I am considering buying an EY 2 BR at Lawai Beach Resort. Does anyone know what kind of value this resort holds for trading through RCI or II? Wondering if I need to buy a 2 BD or could just buy a 1 BD in Hawaii and potentially be able to trade into a 2 BD elsewhere...

    Marriott buying Hyatt/Interval TS
  3. tahoeJoe

    Has Anyone done the math?

    Hyatt is both a weeks and a points program. As such if a weeks owner trades through Interval they use their associated Hyatt points to secure a studio, one bedroom, etc. The larger units require more points. However, in a pure weeks based ownership (Marriott, Vistana, etc) if one trades their...

    II's E-Trade Plus with HRC points

    Does anyone have experience with using Intervals E-plus on an exchange using HRC points? I have used E-plus with my Marriott weeks and if I confirm a re-trade within 60-day of arrival there is no additional fees for a larger sized unit. Outside of 60-days the standard II upgrade fees apply. The...

    Unit Number when Exchanging a Marriott Property on II

    I am trying to exchange into Interval a week that I have. I know I've seen this before but what are they looking for when they ask for Unit Number. If I remember right it was a 4-character code like ABCD or something along those lines. Where do I find this code? Thanks in advance. :)

    Hyatt to II

    From all I have read, Hyatt has value in trading to II. However, we have owned for near 10 years at Coconut Plantation in Bonita (1300) points and have had little success in exchanging with II. Availability has always been the issue. On-line we are only allowed to choose one years points in...

    II responses to requests using studio or 1 Bedroom poll

    The calls from Interval when one has a pending request are really, really annoying. Most of the time they just tell you that they are working on your request and ask you to take some other less desirable option. I'm wondering if the only way you can get upsized is by answering the incessent...

    Pondering II - free offer from Vistana

    I have traded our SVR in RCI for many years now, and am quite happy with what we have been able to do. Our other resort (Silver Lake) only trades RCI, and we always trade it, so it seems sensible to be there. However, Vistana has offered us a free 2 year membership in II plus 1 free bonus...
