Thank you! It is not enrolled. It's a resale week
I see you joined in 2009, assuming you did not buy the week before the June cutoff week in 2010, I'd lock it off. Then I'd get good weeks, join II for 3 years and immediately place exchanges requests. Costs to do so would include the lock off fee, change fee if applicable, II for likely 3 years, 2 exchange fees and possible unit upgrade fees. So total cost maybe $1000 plus maintenance fees to get 2 weeks in return. If you happened to buy it before the cutoff, you could potentially enroll it for free and cut the costs down to just the unit upgrade fees. You could potentially exchange back into HI for your trip going forward and still have an extra exchange week per year though you'd lose control of view type and be at a lower priority for unit assignments. If you rent it you can likely recover you Maintenance fee and transaction fees depending on the week you get.
Just wondering other than 4th of July, what are other good weeks can I book. We purchased in 2016. Thanks
The week(s) with the highest TDI, II's measure of trade value (note that TDI is only relative to other weeks at the same resort).
The short answer for Platinum at Ko Olina is week 26 or 27 depending on the year (for 2027 you'll want week 27) though all of July should be fine and will likely not trade any differently. Variables I consider include the week deposited, likely availability to secure a reservation, when/what do I want to exchange to and my future plans. I always try to secure the week I want either at 12 or 13 months out and deposit online right away. Not only do I consider the likely trade power, I also consider what and when I want to exchange it for and my possible back up plans over the following 2 years. I want to be sure I'm searching for what I want at least 12 months out and preferably 15 months out and for some resorts, up to 18 months out for fixed week resorts and even 2 years out for some non MVC resorts. The exchange week will expire 2 years from the week deposited and can be exchange for a week up to a year before the exchange. I might take a lesser week to start my search earlier OR to make the deposit good longer.
so when I reserve my week with Marriott to occupy the whole of 2 BR LO for the week, and when I deposit the week with II after, and want to lock it off, can I still do that? or do I need to reserve a week each room separately with Marriott before depositing?
Once you deposit, that action is final. YOu can no longer lock off. If you want to lock off you need to make two separate reservations with Marriott before depositing.
Agree and to add, if you make a 2 BR reservation then later decide to lock off you may or may not be able to do so. Even if you are, you may get both a change fee AND a lock off fee since this week is not enrolled. I would lock it off personally and do so at the onset. If you're booking at 12 months out you should be able to do so online, if you did qualify to do so at 13 months out, you'd need to call in. You may want to do the 1 BR first in in case availability is tight. Make sure you know when you can call, us the tool on the MVC website to double check the dates to call in.
