Has any DC member used their II membership to trade a non-Marriott property?

[bobpark56]

I have a gentleman in another discussion group insisting that an II membership is an II membership, meaning that DC members can use their Marriott-supplied II membership to trade their non-Marriott properties. I had thought this was not possible. Can anyone support or refute his claim?

Sure you can trade to a non-Marriott property, but you have to pay the exhcange fee. It is not included in your DC membership.

I am with you on this one -- I have a separate II account for my non-Marriott weeks and was not able to include them with my Marriott-supplied II account.

SMB1 is correct that you can trade to non-Marriott properties (with the fee) but I think the question is more focused on using the Marriott II account to manage your non-Marriotts.

I would be happy if it wasn't this way...

Best,

Greg

I think you are referring to if you own a Marriott resort and it is in the DC program, you have a corporate II account. Marriott will not allow you to have a non-Marriott resort registered with II in that account. You have to maintain a separate II account for non-Marriott resorts. Some other large ownership programs have the same restriction. We have the same situation which is a bummer- excess II fees built into our fees.

True, in this instance, all II memberships are not equal. I think the same thing is true with a Starwood corporate II membership.

Non-enrolled Marriott

If you joined the DC and subsequently bought a resale Marriott property (not eligible for enrollment), could you use the "Corporate" account to trade using II?

Ok so if you own a non-Marriott, then the DC-II account fee of $199 is over and above the fee you pay to maintain your other II account? Zeesh.

The DC annual fee ($165 or $199) is over and above any II membership fee you choose to retain.

The rule is no. You would have to have an individual II membership to hold that non DC week in. However, rules can be broken. I did read on here about one person who was able to call II and requested to have their post 6/20/2012 week added to their corporate II account. Not sure how the exchange fees are handled through, I would guess they would be included just like DC weeks. So it goes to show, it doesn't hurt to call and ask.

That's interesting- was that for a non-enrolled week? I knew that some post 6/20./2010 resale weeks were able to be enrolled at one point, but not that unenrolled weeks were able to be included in the corporate II account.

I believe they had enrolled weeks and bought a post 6/20 resale, they then called II and had it added to their account. The week was not enrolled in DC.

That would be very interesting if it was the case and if it wasn't just a fluke. That would be a big plus to owners with developer and/or pre-6/20/2010 weeks and weeks bought later on the resale market, whether from Marriott resales or on the external resale market.

I think it was a fluke, thus the reason it never hurts to ask. If you get no for an answer, then you lost nothing.
