HGVC Properties That Trade in II

[CalGalTraveler]

Do any HGVC affiliates or properties exchange in II? Specifically Scotland, Carlsbad, South Florida and Bay Club?

I am looking at an HGVC Enrollment form and it is asking for an II membership number. (We have membership through Vistana but wondering if it is possible to deposit certain HGVC properties in II.)

If not, why do they ask?

I believe the Scotland and South Florida properties participate with both RCI and Interval International.

There’s a few Hiltons but only one HGV that I have seen? It’s Elara but this might be the other part (Westgate?) vs the HGVC...

 

[Hobokie]

I see the Scottland one too, actually...

 

[tschwa2]

I think there are a couple of south florida ones that are dual affilliated.

My HGV Casa Ybel is dual affiliated with RCI and II. I think there are a couple of other HGV affiliates on Sanibel that trade in II also.

 

[Hobokie]

Found a few more! I think all of the below are HGVC

 

[RNCollins]

This should be the HGV resorts on Sanibel & Captiva Islands:

OMG @RNCollins I think you found more than I did! Updating my list...

I have Coylumbridge. I only have access to it via HGVC portal. So, I guess, no II here?

 

[buzglyd]

I think many of the old Mariner properties do. Charter club and Eagles Nest are RCI only I believe.

And I believe Surf Club on Marco Island is dual affiliated.

The only 2 on Marco that I know aren’t dual affiliated are Charter Club and Club Regency.

How well have HGVC traded in II? Has anyone gotten any trades for Hyatts or Westins or Marriotts? (or Disney in II)

Great question. I own week 52 at The Surf Club on Marco Island (which is dual affiliated), but I have never joined II nor deposited that week. Given that it is week 52, I assume it would trade well in II. I may have to do that some day, but since I have no other II properties, paying for an II account just for this one property seems like high overhead. Plus, we use our week most years, and when we haven't, we have turned it in for HGVC points (7000 old, 11,200 new).

Oddly, Interval’s travel demand table doesn’t show week 52 as high compared to other weeks

The following is from Interval’s Resort Directory page for The Surf Club (link) - select Travel Demand Index.
Based on their Travel Demand Index, Interval’s highest demand weeks for that area are week #4 thru #15

Thank you for posting this! Not knowing much about II, what would a slightly-higher-than-average week get me in II? Would I be shut out of many places? Within a few months we will both be retired, so we will be open to more off-season travel soon.

And most important / timely: how far in advance does one need to deposit their week in II before it loses trading power? The reason I am asking this is that this year, I actually have two weeks at The Surf Club -- 52 and 53. I am considering joining II and depositing both weeks as it might be worth my while on a year where I get two weeks.

If you‘re looking to heavily trade into the Westin or Marriott resorts, you’re better off buying a Marriott or Westin trader. Interval has a priority preference window that provides owners with exclusive access into their sister resorts. The higher demand weeks are usually snatched up during this preference window. Just watch the posts on the TUG Sightings Forum.

There are lots of threads on traders. Here are some Marriott threads.

Marriott Vacation Club “tiger trader”?

Does Marriott have a resort that trades particularly well in II? Picked up a SDO a couple of years ago and having a blast with the trades we’ve scored. Don’t really care where the resort would be located. If I’m approaching this wrong I’d be open to suggestions. Don’t know much about MVC...

MGC Trader

Here I go again, possibly buying another timeshare. This time it’s an EOYE MGC 2 bedroom lockoff. The offer was accepted at $650 plus closing using LT. I doubt it would pass ROFR. In the event it does, can someone tell me; what costs can I expect? I understand the lockoff fee is around $90 and...

Resale Platinum Week Trader

Trying to acquire a resale legacy Marriott week, mainly for trading but also just to get my feet wet in the Marriott system. What would be a good price for a 2BR Platinum week at Harbour Lake?

Thanks @alwysonvac not looking to regularly trade, just want to know options and whether it is worthwhile to deposit there.

You’re welcome. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement .

There are lots of off season weeks. I suggest signing up for an Interval International (II) account. This will give you access to II’s Cash Getaways.

Here are some older examples of II Cash Getaways from the TUG Sightings forum

Travel Demand and when you deposit will definitely impact your trading power but I don’t know if you’ll be shut out of places. After you get your II account setup, you’ll be able to perform an online search to get a general idea of trading power without depositing.

Take a look at this older thread that goes into more details about trading power and using II (see posts #15 - 17)

Is there an II exchange with HGVC properties guide?

Hi All, I own at Craigendarroch Lodges (2 BR Platinum, Week1) and was told it is eligible for II exchanges, something I might be interested in doing. Is there a primer or a guide that is specific to HGVC? I searched this forum and the Timeshare exchange forum, but I didn't see anything specific...
