What happens to my home resort weeks reserved arriving September 9 for 2 weeks if I cancelled today?
 
You can't cancel. I suppose they may let you, but the week is lost. Gone. Your better option is to deposit it to II and at least get a Flexchange restricted deposit. Or you could attempt a last minute rental.
 
Manual exchanage 60 days in advance of check in.
Week is good for 2 years.

You deposit from the MVC owners site as usual.

I meant flexchange limits you to booking 60 days or less before the check in date of your exchange.

So if you deposit tomorrow you can only exchange for a trip beginning tomorrow through 60 days into the future (August /September)- you can’t book for later than that.
Each day you can book one more day into the future.

Also flexchange is Manual exchange only, no requests.

If deposit tomorrow, it will expire in 2 years.
So if I plan to go on December 3, I can only look for an exchange starting October 3? Still sees Marriott preference weeks?
 
Yes, you still get Marriott preference.
 
Just wondering, can I move my weeks to another week later this year?
Only via exchanging through Interval International. You can't change the reservation with MVC inside the 60 day window.
 
I have never deposited this in II. Is this ownership automatically in my II membership or I have to go thru MVC to deposit to II. Thank you

Is the week enrolled in the Abound (Destinations) points program?
 
No it is not.
Do you already have an independant II account that you pay the annual membership fee for? If so, you can add it to that account and deposit. If not, you need to create a new II account.
 
No it is not.
Do you have any friends or family who could use the week you booked? Or consider renting your weeks?

I ask because exchanging an unenrolled week through II can get expense, especially if you don’t have an account yet.
II membership fee is $100
And exchange fee is $229 (less to other abound properties- $184?) so x2 for 2 weeks

And with the late deposit flexchange you will probably have a hard time matching the value of your HI weeks- there will be limited availability and you will need to book your airfare without much notice.

I have an account with II. It was never our intention to exchange or deposit the week. There is a last minute unavoidable circumstance that came up that's why I am stuck cancelling the last minute. I will not have given up a Hawaii weeks :cry:

I do have one. I have to call II to do that then? Thank you so much! I am sad but it is what it is
 
Probably won't work but it can't hurt
Call Marriott and see if they could make an exception

Call MVC or you might still be able to deposit from your MVC account- I’ve never made a late deposit so I’m not sure.
The MVC chat is also a great, fast way to get questions answered.
 
I'm curious - in this situation of an unavoidable conflict, would trip insurance pay out for the lost week?
 
If you get the right rep they might make an exception. I was in a similar situation years ago, although in my case the last minute possibility didn't materialize and there wasn't a conflict, but the Marriott rep was willing to switch my reservation to the following month, less than a month before arrival.
