MVC Destination Points (President Level)
MVC Ocean Pointe (1 week)
We have a Platinum, 2BR + 2BA Ocean Side View at Ocean Pointe that we got in a hybrid purchase years ago to get us to Presidential. We don't have any real desire to book at week at OP or even lock off and split into 2 weeks so we have always converted to DPs (4,325 points). Our deadline is OCT 31 to convert the 2025 week into DPs and before I do the same thing again, I just wanted to poll the collective wisdom to see if others thought there was a better use.
From past experience and research here, neither the trade for Bonvoy Points nor deposit into Marriott Rental Program seem to make sense.
Other options include II Exchange - Owner Deposit and II Exchange - Marriott Deposit. I must admit we have struggled to fully understand II since our ownership began. We have tried on a few occasions but haven't had any luck. We even deposited some expiring points from COVID into II and 1 expired without being used and another we extended to end of 2024 by reserving an Orlando placeholder in the hopes of exchanging that for something we could use. It is now mid-OCT and the Orlando reservation is still sitting in our II account.
Like I said, default is to convert to 4,325 DPs which we know how to use and think we get good value with since we almost always book inside 60 days to get the 30% discount.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
