I called yesterday and spoke with the customer service department. It was a NO GO!! Just as you have all described they had no dates for the issuance of MMC or MSE ACs. I asked for a manager to call me back. I'm still waiting....:zzz:

Marylyn,

When you talk to the manager, could you ask if you have already deposited a week and AC becuase available for the week already deposited do you still get an AC. I was told yesterday when I deposited my MSE week that I would still get it, if one became available.

Thanks!

Ron

Still trying to understand Marriott's system and II's. I own a gold MMC week. What is the best time for me to deposit? Can I expect an AC?

Thanks for any feedback?

No worries, if they don't come through, we will probably change it to 3 weeks in Oct, I am sure we will have no trouble getting that, or FF seats. We just won't have folks joining us as we would have originally though since one is a teacher. Oh well, too bad for them.

ACs for Grand Vista?

I think it would be interesting to see if any Marriott resorts are being offered AC's for 2009 weeks. If there are currently no AC's being offered, keep checking with II and let everyone know when an AC is offered for your resort.

There sure seemed to be fewer AC's offered for '08, according to Tuggers, than in previous years. Just trying to see if this trend is continuing into 2009.


As of now, according to my search, no 2009 AC's are being offered at:

Waiohai,
Legends Edge,
Grand Vista,
BeachPlace Towers,
Ocean Pointe,
Villas of Doral

My test was using Mid-Jan, Mid-Feb, and Mid-March. weeks. :D


Note: I am asking about 2009 weeks only.

I am thinking about buying platinum grand vista, do any of you know the history of whether or not it has received an AC in the past? How about this year so far? II seems to be really stingy about offering ACs this year. :(

AC for MMC

Still trying to understand Marriott's system and II's. I own a gold MMC week. What is the best time for me to deposit? Can I expect an AC?

Thanks for any feedback?

Early in the thread we were talking about this, those of us with Platinum weeks can't even get an AC for July-August yet, II said to check in Oct-Nov and then MAYBE they would be offering an AC for July-August. :mad:

II offers ACs for high demand weeks as incentive to deposit. Gold at MMC is March and November, off season and not very high demand, so I doubt II will ever offer an AC for gold MMC weeks.

Hi Ron,

I was told the exact opposite. I was told if I deposit my MMCs and my MSE weeks now that I will NOT get an AC when they issue them. If you can, please check again, get a manager's name, and let us know. Talking to clerks has not helped one little bit-- and the manager, predictably, never phoned me back. What a way to run an airline!!:annoyed:

This is the policy. They dont give ACs for deposits made before the offer. However,this doesnt mean that if there is an offer for an AC after your deposit that you cant ask for one and possibly still get one.

Funny I deposited that week into II three weeks ago. I was handling someone else's account at the time and acting as her consultant. Some consultant:annoyed: it took well over an hour and I got a big Bubkus for pay. She's my doc's wife so I figured I'd help out, but her account was a mess and before I knew it, an hour and 20 minutes had passed.

I just got an AC yesterday when I deposited my March 09 week at Mountainside. I've never used an AC before - what's the deal with them? Are there any fees to redeem, and I assume the properties available are fairly limited. Is it really just a free week?

See the FAQ section of the Marriott forum. Dave explains the AC process.

To answer your question, the weeks cost $$ depending on the size unit you select and the travel dates are restricted to lowseason. If you like to book late minute travel (59 days till checkin), ACs would be perfect.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm still surprised that Nov - Thanksgiving, and March - Easter, aren't considered high demand weeks worthy of an AC by II.

Guess I'll try request first and hope for a great exchange.

BTW, do I have to select a Gold week first before requesting first, and will II tell me which weeks are the most sought after?

Yes, you need to reserve a week first, either online or by calling Marriott. You may call II and ask about demand, but basically it is the same as the "demand index" link located to the right side of your resort's description on the II website.

Any ACs for Manor Club yet??

Just checking---Did anyone get an AC for their platinum Manor Club weeks? I check periodically. I'm thinking I must deposit them soon.

No AC online but it was available by phone

I am really glad I read this thread. I saw an AC when I checked earlier this summer for a 1 bedroom at Ko Olina for July 4th, 2009. I was waiting to deposit until the end of summer. When I checked back on Aug 30th, the AC didn't show up online. I decided read-up on this issue on TUG. Then I called II, yesh, they had one for me. I almost deposited it online without calling.
Thanks folks

Well I will be keeping my week this year and going to MMC if no AC is offered.

For me an AC is the incentive I need to deposit. Without an AC I do not want to trade and pay a fee. If AC's stop all together I may cancell my II membership and try one of the independent companies when I want to trade.

So what will you do with your MMC week if you did not intend on going to MMC provided II had offered you an AC?

Just wondering.

I have many places on my list; Custom House, Disney, East Coast Beach Locations, Newport Coast, NYC... I have only had a timeshare since Jan 2006, so far I have traded every year and gotten an AC. I look forward to going to Manor Club, but since I have many places on my list to go, as long as they give AC's I will most likley trade it through II to get a second week of timesharing each year.

If no AC I will save my membership and exchange fees and enjoy Manor Club.
