Do your already deposit II/Marriott weeks move over to the DC account?

That says it all - I have 4 deposited Marriott weeks in II - do they go over to the corporate Marriott/II/DC account if I decide to join?
Will I get "free" Marriott to Marriott exchanges if they are still in my 'old' personal account?
Or do they stay where there are and I still have to pay an exchange fee?

Just wondering....TIA

Weeks on deposit in your old individual account will remain there until you use them or they expire. They won't transfer to your new corporate II DC account. You will still have to pay the exchange fee to exchange those weeks in the old account.

If you opt to keep your old II account open and it has at least a year before expiration, you will get one AC. I think there are other ACs provided depending on how much time you have remaining in your individual II membership.

II is not exactly the model of consistency. I had a week moved over to the new Marriott account. It is important to note II screwed up so they were more willing to accommodate me, I didn't have to twist their arm at all.

This is what happened for me too -- I have a week on deposit with the Old II account and a week on deposit with the Corporate II account. They are both MOC Studios.

I did this intentionally to see if they saw the same things (they do).

Best,

Greg

This is an important thing to consider. If you are getting ready to make 2013 reservations and plan to deposit them but are also considering enrolling in DC, then you should enroll sooner rather than later. If you are enrolling for the fee savings and you deposit to your old account, it will only extend your break even point on the enrollment fee.

We had this happen to us last year when we enrolled. We were getting ready to make 2012 reservation. We did and did pay the 2 x $75 lock off fees. However, we waited until after we enrolled to deposit the weeks with II.

If you are seriously considering enrolling, I would actually try to do so before making any reservations (if you have lock offs) and before depositing anything with II.

Just make sure your new II account is setup before you deposit, and be careful that you are depositing to the right account as you will still have access to the old account.

There is no reasonable 'break even point' for me as I have two developer and one resale week so I will be in for 2K.

I own many other TSs so I will still maintain an II account, no savings there either. :ignore:
I already have a second II Wyndham account so Marriott will be # 3 :eek:

Problem is, the resale week is the one I ALWAYS lock off and exchange - so $80 + 109 + 109
I also always lock off a second week and I may deposit and exchange half of that so $80 + 109
And I sometimes lock off and exchange half of week 3 so that is $80 + 109.

Seeing it written down makes me feel better :ignore:


New Question - you mentioned "reservations"
I have made one I will not change.
I made a second one that I will lock off and change (Florida Club) in September.
My third one will be a July 4th one after I join the club.

If I enroll in DC in June, will the changes in resies I make in September be under the DC rules......or should I cancel that resie before I join in June and just do my Florida Club resies in September?

I can not believe I am asking these question :shrug: - finally drinking the Kool Aid :cool:

I will keep the old account for other ownerships

I would LOVE if they made a mistake for me. :cool:

Thx, and how is that going?
Do you see the same things?
From reading here, it seems Marriott "tries a little harder" to get requests filled from the corporate DC account.

I think they only try harder to fulfill DC points trades. They don't do anything extra for weeks based exchanges through II. Those are all still fulfilled by II. I asked a VOA if they could help me with an II exchange, and they transferred me to II.

Grayfal, the M to M II exchange fee is now $129, up from $109. I still have 1 more banked week in my old II account , then on to the no a la carte fees in the new account.

Thanks for the fee update.....that brings my total to $129 x 4 plus lock-off $80 x 2 for a total of $676

Fee is currently $199 per year. Save $477.

Maybe it is not as dismal as I thought and then I would still have the actual DC option if I so desired somewhere down the line. This would be an approximate 4 year payback.

I thought the fee was only $119 made online. $129 if over the phone?

Your situation is similar to ours. We have two lock off weeks. Thus four exchanges per use year. The only difference is that we only have Marriott weeks. No need for us to keep an II account open for non Marriott weeks.

You are correct...I just rechecked my cc statement. I don't know where I got the $129 from as I only book online.

I had reconciled in my mind that I would just add the $1300 to the purchase price of my resale week, still well below what other owners paid the developer for that ownership and the remaining $695 is what other multi-week owners paid.
It is amazing how one can fool oneself :rofl:

I enrolled today. I plan on keeping track of my costs going forward to see how much I actually spend and save in the next few years.

That was they I felt about enrolling my resale. The cost of what I paid for it plus the enrollment fee were still way less than what I would have paid if I bought direct from Marriott. Now the big "R" is somewhat removed from our resort as we can also trade for reward points if we choose to.

I just enrolled today. I have my 2013 week already reserved with MVC. My II account is showing it as available (Float) and offering me an AC for my deposit (the offer expires June 24).

I want that AC and the clock is ticking. When should I expect my new II account and who knows if I'll be offered the same or similar AC?

I was told on the phone by rep "Matthew" that it takes 2 weeks from signing the agreement(clicking yes online to the terms and conditions)

I also wonder how long before I see my 800 bonus points in the account?

Do weeks in the Marriott II Corporate account get AC offers?

I'm wondering the same...going to make my home reservation, but would consider trading via II with an AC...but will that still be honored with my new corporate II account?

hmmm...
