II - time limit to deposit to receive maximize trading power??

[Jwerking]

Booked two Memorial Day 2021 Marriott Barony weeks a few months ago. What is the deadline to deposit to still receive maximum trading power with II?

Typically, I don't have issues using our Marriott weeks thru II, but this Covid pandemic. So please help me revisit the II rules. So for Memorial Day 2021 weeks, can I book an exchange thru Memorial Day 2022 - is that correct? And for a fee, II will extend that date by one year?

Thanks

You have 2 years after the check-in date to use the deposit. I would not pay to "extend". Instead, if absolutely necessary, use E-Plus as a way to extend for up to a year, with 3 retrades.

I don't think II has ever published a specific time when you have to deposit to receive full trading power. RCI always said 12 months to receive full trading power. When they went to TPU's you get full trading power up til 9 months in advance and 90% down to like 90 days prior to check-in. I have never felt that II actually disclosed the trading power the TDI does not seem to be how it actually works...

Great - so for May 2021 weeks, I will have until May 2023 for occupancy of II exchanges. I do need to decide if I want to cancel the weeks reservations and deposit for Marriott Destination Points - which are generally easy to book than playing the II roulette. Too many decisions to make! Love the free re-trade option with Marriott weeks in a corporate II acct - which I only found out about within the last year - stupid me! That is why I need to spend more time on TUG!
