    Which is your favorite Marriott TS in Hawaii?

    We are thinking of buying a TS at either Maui Ocean Club, Ko Olina, or Waiohai. I am wondering which one you like the best? What are the pros and cons of each? If you are an owner at one of these resorts and have done exchanges through II, what have you been able to exchange for? How easy has...

    Marriott Hawaii Trading Power in II

    Many Tuggers say buy where you will stay and I have also read some posts indicating it is getting harder to trade within II since Marriott is trying to save space for its DP owners. We are trying to decide if we should buy a Marriott EOY 2 bedroom lockoff in Maui Ocean Club or Ko Olina or a 2...

    Cant use Kona Trade thru II for Thanksgiving 2017

    Hi, I'm looking for advise on this situation. I have a week confirmed thru II for Nov 18 to 25 to a Kona Resort which I thought was wonderful to spend thanksgiving in HI but I'm finding that the airfares from San Diego area to Kona are well over $1100 pp for that week. That would mean times 2...

    DRI exchange Hyatt Kaanapali, 2 times in a year. Why can I

    see photos. I am seeing something weird. I read all these angry reviews but I exchanged into the Hyatt 2 times in a row. Developer points. Not resale. Is II seeing them as different. Thoughts?

    Do HRC Exchanges Get Priority In II?

    First, I fully subscribe to the TUG mantra: "How can you tell when a retail timeshare salesperson is lying? When his/her lips are moving." That said, I was in a Hyatt owner's update a couple of months ago and the topic turned to exchanges. The sales weasel said that because HRC is now owned by...

    Developer v Resale in II, Now way different.

    I have 2 accounts. 1 resale Week in Hawaii and 15,000 Diamond developer points. MF is $2,300 for Westin and $3,100 diamond. I'm not a conspiracy person but when I use my developer points in II I am able to see almost everything. It's crazy and I don't have to even deposit them in II, I can...

    Interval-Marriott Disaster

    Ok, maybe a little dramatic, but that's about what I'm feeling right now. I deposited a late June 2016 Marriott Waiohai 2bedroom with II in early September 2015, knowing we would be unable to use it. In April 2016 I put in a request for June 2017 for an equivalent property (actually 12...

    Interval International Vistana Renewal promo codes??

    I know that in the past I have gotten letters about 2 for 1 promos when renewing my interval international membership. Has anyone seen any of these recently targeted to either Vistana, Four Seasons or Royal Rosorts owners? Typically, I've seen these targeted to Starwood/Vistana owners but they...

    Value of Ski in/out on II

    Hi all! For numerous reasons, I am considering a 2br prime ski week in Breckenridge. The resort would either be the Grand Lodge on Peak 7 or Grand Colorado on Peak 8. (I know buying resale is cheaper, I haven't purchased anything yet, still working through the mental gymnastics of that.)...

    Caveat Emptor- Interval International

    Just a heads-up concerning serious service issues at Interval. I recently re-joined after a few years away, and what a RUDE awakening. Interval is no longer the company it was. I deposited a Week 8, deluxe, oceanfront studio, sleep 4, with a full kitchen at Wyndham's Sea Gardens in Pompano...

    II asking to rent my getaway weeks? (not deeded TS)

    Hi. I just received a call from II asking if we wanted to rent out some of our getaway weeks (which are unlimited so we aren't losing any apparently - relatively new to using all of these). They said if we accept the rental rate they want to charge, we would get $6300 rental check. This is of...
