Is it better to deposit through II or Vistana?

[feckman]

The situation: I own a 2BR Sheraton Lakeside Terrace ski week in Avon, CO (Beaver Creek Resort). I am looking to exchange for a 2BR ski week in Breckenridge, CO or Park City, UT next season. In the past, we have gotten Grand Timber Lodge and Grand Lodge on Peak 7 (just after it opened) in Breck by depositing through II.

The question: is it better to deposit the Lakeside Terrace week into II via the Vistana website or through Intervalworld.com directly? Does one give any benefits (or come with any restrictions) over the other?

Many thanks in advance!

If you are exchanging through II then it doesn't matter if you initiate the deposit through II or through Vistana. If you do it through II, you should be able to search immediately vs having to wait a day or two if you do it though the dashboard.

You don't get the choice, you have to deposit via your VSN account. They will deposit a week that has blended trading power for the season that you own in.

But I do have a "Deposit Unit" button associated with the unit in my II account. Is there any difference using that button vs doing it on Vistana.com? I suspect it doesn't matter, though doing it on the II website might provide the ability to do an instant exchange. Though it would still be pending confirmation of the deposit.

Possibly: the underlying fact, I intended to convey is that Vistana decide which weeks gets deposited, as opposed to the owner booking it and then depositing it like happens with some other brands.

You will probably get a week with a combined deposit power of the season you own.
