I too am interested in this topic. So I went to the II website to ask. I have attached a screenshot of the reply I received back yesterday.
I also deposit Colonies in SFX. Headed to The Point at Poipu (Kauai) this Thanksgiving thanks to an exchange using my Colonies unit. As I've said in other posts, it's the little timeshare that could...I like the dual nature of it and have been making deposits in both.

I'm wondering if this issue is 'resolved'?
Agree with @escanoe. We own Colonies and are still able to trade via II (and SFX) with no issues.so I'm wondering if this issue is 'resolved'? I'm looking to purchase a 4BR at the Colonies on Redweek but def. don't want to do it if I can't trade on II. Is it confirmed that buying a resale week is trade-able on II still?
I own a week at the Colonies that I use to trade into our Wyndham ownership via their PIC program via RCI Exchange. Word to the wise on the Busch Garden tickets - don't forget to ask them to include a free preferred parking pass along with the tickets, otherwise you're on the hook to cover parking fees yourself. I learned this the hard way the first time we attended an update and went for the free Busch Gardens tickets - now I ask for free parking as well.I attended the owners update at The Colonies at Williamsburg this week and was advised they no longer offer II (Interval International) as an exchange company just RCI. I couldn’t find anything on here about it so I‘m just posting in case anyone is interested in knowing. Also, for entertainment purposes my final offer was a 4 bedroom EOY for $7,100 for any week without a holiday, 40,000 points a year, a premier package (they said they usually sell for $15,000), and $465 annual MF. My gift for allowing them to entertain me for a couple of hours was 2 Bush Garden tickets which included meals and non-alcoholic beverages, and a $60 food voucher to Honey Butter.
Yes. I just made an exchange (for Marriott's Maui Ocean Club!) yesterday.This post is more than a year old, but is it still holding that you can still trade the Colonies weeks via II?
I own annual passes to Busch Gardens, but we have some out-of-town friends staying with us there (in a separate unit) next month. How many days are the Busch Gardens passes for? I own there, but have never done a sales presentation (not a big fan of them).I own a week at the Colonies that I use to trade into our Wyndham ownership via their PIC program via RCI Exchange.

Here is the most recent RCI Points chart for it (below).
Current year MFs for a 4 BR lock-off are $869.00. In peak season that will bring you 147,500 RCI Points. So $00.0059 per point. That is about as good as it gets, we just need to wait on a resale market.
I own week 30 there now, and trade it in both II and RCI weeks.

Sorry I somehow missed your question until just now - I don't believe we've ever asked for multi-day passes when going for this type of incentive for a sales update. I believe the passes we've received are only good for one day - but I've never asked for multi-day passes to be clear.I own annual passes to Busch Gardens, but we have some out-of-town friends staying with us there (in a separate unit) next month.
