Depositing MVC Points into II [MERGED]

They are not under Vistana preference.
I see them with my DRI points

Sorry. I probably misread posts of people because I thought I saw only posts that reported seeing VIS weeks with Vistana or Marriott weeks/points only but not with other brands and I thought I had read somewhere that Marriott had preference too in the Vistana inventory.

It is my understanding that MVC to MVC there is a 24 day preference window (assuming not short notice) and for Vistana there is only a ?3 day period. With MVC my understanding is that there is still a trade power qualification thus one may not have sufficient trade power for a given deposit and it may sit there and then once the 24 days is done, go to a non MVC owner. I would presume that the same is true on the Vistana side and thus that the Vistana studio(s) in question don't have sufficient trade power to pull those deposits. It does appear this is less of an issue since the ability to monetize the upgrades has been implemented but it's still applicable.

The VIS units are still there. I played around with our potential deposits and determimed that it is an issue with the quality of the week being used.

Neither an offpeak Foxrun or offpeak Villa Del Palmar Mexico week would pull them. However, a Villa Del Palmar Christmas week does.

I'm concluding that a 1,000 MVC point deposit (which is the lowest deposit) won't pull much and I thus may not get my targeted resort (i.e. VIS) Perhaps a OGS would work better? At least I should be able to get a one bedroom at Vistana Villages offseason which would be a fair use of 1,000 points that would otherwise expire.

I think MVC points is exchangeable with II using the following grid only. With 1,000 pts, you can get only a studio anywhere with a TDI of 50 to 85.
The 3 weeks available at VIS (2 bdrm) in May are in the TDI range of 90-110. So, you need 3,000 MVC points to get one of them.
The grid comes from https://www.intervalworld.com/iimedia/pdf/points_exchange_reference_guide_m.pdf

Rather than trying to secure an instant exchange which would follow the chart as you describe, I am considering obtaining a week to deposit into Interval to be used over the next 2 years. However, I have no experience with trading the weeks obtained with MVC points. I am therefore trying to assess how those weeks trade and how that matches with how I may use it.

Anyone with experience on how the various units trade would be helpful. Since it is not a good value, (I am only doing this because the points would expire), there are not many data points on this.

Although Marriott Vacation Club agents provide some ridiculous time-frames (13 weeks), the confirmation email says within 7-14 business days, which is more accurate.

In your account you'll receive a generic MVC Destinations week (not actually a week from a MVC timeshare) so it's a bit perplexing why it takes so long to load a generic week.

Our experience has been ~6 calendar days and ~10 calendar days for the MVC Destinations week to appear.

The week that MVC deposited for me was actually about 3 weeks into the future from when I called do I actually got 2 years and 1 month to use it.
But I believe that they give you a week close to the date you call.
So it makes sense to wait until the points are close to expiring to call- keeps all the options open as long as possible.

When you convert your expiring DC points into weeks in II, will they show up in your MVC account or your regular Pre MVC account?

it’s in the corporate account
my pre enrollment account expired long ago

Thanks for your response. It looks like one of my weeks has been deposited into my pre enrollment account, the 2nd week has not been deposited yet, but the rep told me it will go into the same account and they can’t be moved over.
Also, the rep told me I can’t book into a Westin/Sheraton/Vistana because it’s an internal exchange, yet Interval was going to allow it but it’s charging an exchange fee??

For me I had expiring DC points that I chose to have MVC convert to a week.
It was deposited into my corporate account- my old personal account is not active.
I can exchange that week into Westin/Sheraton/Vistana with no exchange fee- I just checked now, this is still true.
Maybe things have changed? But I would talk or chat with another rep to be sure.
Possibly check with Mark, the tug II contact- I don’t remember his email but someone else can probably provide it.

edit- found the email for Mark Delcampo tugmembers@intervalintl.com
Please let us know how this works out

I have called II a couple of times this week, II has told me they can’t do anything about my weeks being in the wrong account and they
transfer me to Marriott, 2 different reps and 2 different supervisors have told me my weeks cannot be transferred into my corporate MVC II account and when exchanging into a Vistana/Sheraton timeshare, there will be an exchange fee whichever account they are in

I am now waiting for another supervisor to get back to me, as I will also have to extend my pre enrolment II membership to exchange these weeks in 2023.

Can you exchange into a MVC location since it’s not in your Corp II account?

 

[cthewrld]

No, nothing for MVC.

The supervisor emailed me to tell me my 2 weeks that I used my expiring DVC points for, are external exchanges, so they have been deposited into my Pre MVCI Club Destinations II account. They have been deposited as External Exchange Credit Deposits.

Did you exchange (Disney) DVC club points for a these weeks? Or (Marriott) DP points?

 

[bdurstta]

I have always used my MVC points. But the last 2 years I am off my game for booking vacations. LOL So now I might have to deposit into II and I have never done that before. Any tips on how to use MVC points to do that? Anywhere on TUG with info?

thank you!

probably a better value to "rent" the points using https://vacationpointexchange.com/

This is my experience-

Depositing MVC Points into II [MERGED]

I have some DPs expiring in July 2021. I am wondering how I deposit DPs in II. Is there a minimum number of DPs you can deposit to be eligible for an II exchange? Or do you book a week and then deposit it?

tugbbs.com

A couple of additional points-
You can have clean or banked points converted to the week and deposited, but not holding account points. You can add points that are not about to expire to the expiring ones to achieve your desired season/size deposit.
You can wait until just before expiration, it will not count as a “late deposit” on II. The 2 year expiration date is from the check in date of the week they deposit.
Exchanging is just like any other week- you can request (and pay for an upsize), you can buy eplus if you anticipate going outside Marriott brands.
My advice is to place a request as soon as you deposit for as far in advance as possible- a year is not to far ahead.

It is possible that an overnight OGS with a studio would pick them up.

I can see them with my Vistana units but not any of my Marriott weeks. tellculvers com survey taco bell breakfast hours

What is it that you are referring to?

Marriott points, I can book Vistana/Sheraton for $164 but cannot pull up anything at Marriott. The weeks were deposited into my Pre MVCI Club Destination account.
