Discrepancy between my units on MSC and II

[Nick66]

I have never traded via II but after reading to page 25 of the SVO forum, I have read a lot about trading and which weeks are decent at SVR. First of all, when I look at my units on MSC they are listed as:

Prime Cascades 2 bedroom LO Sleeps 8 Fixed Week 51
Prime Fountains 2 bedroom Villa Sleeps 8 Floating

On interval under my units they are listed as follows

2 bed (lock-off capable) sleeps 6
Then breaks it down into 2-1 bed sleeps 4

My other unit says 2 bed sleeps 6

Is this normal or does II have my unit wrong?

Also, then since I own a week 51 fixed, if I trade that week, will *wood actually deposit week 51?

When I search for trades in II for all *wood resorts both my units seem to pull the same inventory, which make me think my week 51 isn't any better.

I haven't actually deposited any units. Do you see more inventory once you have actually deposited your week?

Any clarification would be appreciated.

Cascades week is not a "true" fixed week in the eyes of Starwood. Because it also floats 1-52, it gets deposited into II as a blended week.

It sleeps 6 privately.

Only if it is a true fixed week. If it is fixed/float week, you just get a deposit "credit" that has the average trading value of the whole season that you own. - they don't actually deposit a specific week when the deed is fixed/float.

A true fixed week is a deed that can only be used for week 51, with no option to move it to a different date. A fixed week 51 will have high trading power.

Yes - A deposited week will see more.

But there is an even more important point here: The inventory that you see online is just the LEFTOVERS, after all the ongoing searches have been filled. The best deposits are snagged by ongoing searches, and never make it to the online inventory.

I have a fixed Falls week, this is how it shows in Interval.

Ok thanks,

My unit does not show the week in II.

Ok thanks,

My unit does not show the week in II.

So it is not a true fixed week - it's fixed/float, and when you deposit it, you will get a "deposit credit."

Why am I not surprised...

In case you didn't see it - there is a Starwood and II Sticky at the top of the forum, that you may find helpful.
