Best resort for II trade International?

[Disneyprincess1978]

So hubby and I would like to occasionally go to a timeshare in San Antonio, Orlando, etc for the next few years and then more Asia, Europe. Is there any purchase that makes this reasonable ? Obviously, everyone here has taught me I have to buy on the resale market. It sounds like Marriott has priority in II?

Thanks

Marriott's preference in II is only for other Marriott units (plus a secondary preference for Vistana units, after the Vistana-to-Vistana preference expires).

You don't need to buy in Orlando to stay in Orlando; cheap rentals and II Getaways abound.

There is good availability at the Hyatt in San Antonio, even via II getaways, for less than $1000 usually 2-5 month ahead and for exchange 4-5months ahead.
Asia and Europe have MVC resorts as well so the usual suspects of MVC lock-off resale weeks will get you to the places you want, plus II getaways for Orlando, elsewhere in Europe and some of Asia.
