yes you can
When I talked to an executive II rep this morning, check-in date is still by the end of May.
He said it was revised on 12/20/2010 and would be revised soon for later check-in date.
If anyone is looking for after 5/31 check-in date, it would be better to call and ask after 1/15/2011.

absolutely. I already donated two XYZ weeks to school fundraising auction.
Yumdrey,
Can you get an XYZ if you are a member of the Destination Club but trade a week through II (corporate account)?
Thanks

As long as you have a confirmed exchange with II, you can use that week for XYZ.
It doesn't matter which club you are in, it matters only if you have a confirmed exchanged week with II or not. Once you get an exchanged week, it doesn't matter with your club. It matters only with II for XYZ.
Remember, XYZ has to be confirmed BEFORE your original exchanged week's check-in date.
Thanks Yumdrey! Your information is priceless!
Yumdrey,
I just noticed they have a thread going on XYZ and Destination Club on the Marriott site.What you say makes alot more sense.There saying XYZs cannot be done with Corporate Account.

Will this work for a "request first" thru II or for deposited weeks only?
Thank you so much for sharing this info with us, we own multiple Marriott properties for 7 years and have not heard of this. We usually do a request first to get the resorts we want in Hawaii or Cancun, travelling in May.
We will definately use in the future :whoopie:

II makes it tough to take advantage of the XYZ promotion. I called today about an exchange we made for Feb. in Mesquite, NV. The Rep was familiar with the XYZ program, but said Mesquite did NOT qualify. He said "even though it costs more to exchange through us, you should always do it because we can often get you the extra week through this program." I doubt I'll follow his advice, but how are we suppose to know "what qualifies"?
I'll guess I'll call in the future (after I exchange online) to see what qualifies.

The info is all over the place and each rep has their own view of what the promo is.
I've been told that you can make your initial exchange online but you have to call to get the free one and it has to take place before the original exchange that you have (Feb Mesquite) So then, your only option is going Jan or early Feb before Mesquite.
I then talked to another person today who then said that both exchanges have to be done at the same time. I don't think she knew what she was talking about so I said thank you and good bye.

We used an XYZ to get 4th of July week at a Marriott this year. Should I be worried? The exchange was confirmed no problem. We actually used it to combine a studio and a 1 bdr for that week as we needed a 2 bedroom.

Neither one - it only works if you've actually MADE an exchange, but the exchange date is still in the future.

If I see something online, it might disappear before I can get a rep on the phone. Do you put a hold on it first? Are you allowed to do that?

yes if you see something, you can do an internet hold (18 minutes) and then call to book it.
I actually did an internet hold, called them and said I need more time, and they held it for an additional 3 hours while I spoke to the rest of my party. Our plan fell through so they released the hold but to answer your question, yes, you can hold it.

We got xyz for thanksgiving week at Villa del Palmar Cancun. It's brand new so I assume that's why it was available. Hopefully I will rent both!

I may be wrong, but I think the renting of II exchanges is against the rules.
be careful, renting exchanges is against the rules, and if they find out: you lose all your current deposits, and all future exchanges cancelled, in addition to being banned from your exchange co.We got xyz for thanksgiving week at Villa del Palmar Cancun.

they told us today Wyndham exchanges do not qualify since they are POINTS
so not all clubs can get the 2 fo 1 promo
On wmowners.com, Worldmark owners have reported on getting XYZs. Worldmark does not deposit points into II - they deposit a week after they take your points.
I wish there was a way to get a list of areas that are available as well as the dates you can go. I just used the XYZ on a 1 bedroom at the Marriott Grand Vista at the beginning of May. When I called he asked me to wait as he checked his grid to see if that date was available for that area. I just called Interval's Starwood desk and the first person I talked to was able to help me. He did say I was only able to book a 1 bedroom because the unit I used for exchange was a 1 bedroom.
