Just trying to figure out the best way to use my Marriott Palm Desert Villa red week to get into properties not on II... grand Luxe villa at RIviera Maya, someplace in London etc. I know they’re will be extra costs, but would like to figure out a way to do it every few years. Not going to lie, went to the presentation at Vidanta RM and was blown away by the residence units but soon realized that even if I dropped a few hundred thousand I’d never get to stay there. I don’t know if you get access to EA or third home via Marriott. Tia!

The only way we were able to get into London was to rent at the timeshare that is no longer a timeshare.

Not much opportunity there.
