I have 2 upcoming II exchanges…Aruba Ocean Club in October and Beach Place Towers in January 2025…On my Bonvoy account the Ocean Club reservation says Gold Season and the Beach Place Towers reservation says Bulk Banking..what’s the difference?

Likely someone deposited the Aruba week and the Beach Place unit was a bulk deposit from the resort.

If you look at the Unit Number in the My History of your II account you will probably find that the Aruba exchange is only a four character Unit Number and Beachplace Towers is five. The Beachplace also probably begins with an H or D.

To OP: this code will also show you your view category which you can look up here:

Although, I think people said they don't give you your view code in Aruba (please correct if wrong.)

Aruba ocean has only two codes and they honor it. Surf club has lots of rules which I have shared before so there is no guarantee. People disagree but that is how it is.

We exchanged into a 2BR Aruba Ocean Club Villa in April 2023…the II code was HZZAB which from what I have been told..was a Ocean Front designation..when I was checking in the front desk associate looked at me like I had 2 heads when I said the code meant OF…needless to say we received a decent OV Villa..the upcoming II confirmation the code says ZZAA..which is OV.

Unfortunately..The Ocean Club did not honor my II OF code last year.

There may be less success when it is a bulk deposit vs. an actual owner deposit.
