Is Interval Platinum worth it if you dont exchange?

[chriskre]

My Blue green resort can no longer be deposited to interval
So I am stuck just doing getaways and maxxing out my last
Deposit left in my account.

I usually trade for Marriott resorts in Florida.

Was thinking to do two 6 day short stays with the last deposit
And then pick up a few discounted getaways.
Is there any other benefit?
I won't be flying any time soon so can't take advantage of the airport lounge s.
I mostly drive to my vacations now.

I see they limit the getaways to 3 consecutive weeks.
Can you stay 4 weeks if you split them up?

Thanks.

The three consecutive/concurrent limit is just for the same resort. You can go to different resorts and not hit the limit.

Can I do my two short stay exchanges and then 3 rentals to the same resort?

That shouldn't be an issue. The limitation is only on getaways.

II very commonly throws random bonus ACs to account holders. If you go to Florida a lot, thats one area you can almost always get with a bonus AC.
Platinum is good for the free guest certs too.

I have not seen a bonus AC aside from the deposit specials in years now. Maybe if I stop depositing they will start throwing me a few bones. Lol.

We deposit four weeks every year in our Marriott account and they continue to hand out the ACs. We never deposit in our Vistana corp account and we get them there too.

Are they in your units to exchange or someplace else? Maybe I am looking in the wrong place.

Yes, under My Units. But then there is a box on the right for Certificates.

If you don’t have a resort that’s associated with II, can you even keep an account open?

Yes. They don't care as long as you pay for the membership

As long as your ownership wasn't in a program where the developer is paying for the II account. Mandatory Vistana or enrolled Marriott weeks come to mind.

I’ve never deposited and only use AC or Getaways. Platinum membership has more than paid for itself with the GC and the lower getaway rate

The resort still shows up as able to deposit its Bluegreen that’s messing with us Christmas mountain owners and forcing us to only use RCI and blaming it on interval.

As someone exploring an entry into II for the first time, this post confused me. If you have an independent resort to deposit in II and also own Marriott legacy weeks can you use the same account or do you have to use a separate Marriott account for their legacy weeks?

We only own enrolled Marriott weeks that we deposit into the Marriott DC corp account. We don't have any independants. If we did, we would have to deposit those into an individual II account. We also have Vistana mandatory weeks that are in a VSN II Corp Account. We never deposit those in II. Sorry if my post was confusing.
