Guest Certificate II

[Renay]

When you have enrolled weeks and pay Marriott for your II dues, I thought Guest Certificates were free when making an II exchange. Am I wrong or did something change?
Since it’s a weekend and offices are closed any info would be appreciated.

No. Guest are free on a point or weeks reservation but you still have to pay the guest fee for II trade, it is not included. Marriott just pays for a standard II membership. You can upgrade your enrolled account at II to Platinum to get free guest certificates.

I am new to these guest cerficates. I was only made aware of them this past year. Is the guest fee for II a standard amount for each cerficate or does it vary according to the timeshare selected as well. As well, can I use the guest certificate to book for someone else. Thanks.

The cost for the guest certificate depends on whether you are a regular member, a gold member or a platinum member. Regular and gold members pay $59. Platinum members get them for free.
Question two: yes, you can book something and then buy/get a guest cert for someone else.

I may be reading you wrong, but it almost seems to be that you are confusing guest certificate with accommodation certificates.

A guest certificate allows someone else to use the reservation you booked on II ( exchange, getaway or accommodation certificate) when you are not are not going along too. Price varies by II membership level. You can find all II pricing in the faq at the bottom of the page.

Accommodation certificates are bonus weeks II hands out for various reasons. They show up under my units on II. There is a redemption fee to use these- usually around $300.

I apologize if I read your post incorrectly.

I agree with Pamplemousse. I believe Wei339 is referring to Accommodation Certificates (e.g. coupon to get a week at specified resorts during specified months at the stated price.)
The ones we have recently received in II are either $229 or $299; sometimes there is tax. Yes, they may be purchased for your friends/relatives by adding a guest certificate.

Thanks for the all the advice. I realize now that it was an accommodation certificate that II placed in my account.
