I really see no reason for a name change for this form. People aren't very often going to be searching for "Marriott Vacations Worldwide" since the company does not actively market that as a brand and I bet there are still some owners today that if you told them that name, they wouldnt' know what you are talking about. It seems that people are finding the forum just fine as it is the most active hotel brand forum on TUG and by far not the biggest timeshare company out there. I don't see any issue with perhaps updating the forum description to better spell out the products and programs discussed in the "Marriott Resort System" forum, but don't try to fix something that isn't broken by changing the overall name.
I agree with this logic. Marriott Vacation Club is the marketing identity of the program. Marriott Vacations Worldwide is just a corporate entity name. Stick with "Marriott Resort System" and include Ritz, etc in the description. The only alternative that I think would make sense is just to rename the forum "Marriott Vacation Club" since that is the marketing brand used by both the weeks and Destination Club Points systems.
This is the info on transaction fees from the Weeks sticky in this forum, some of it obviously outdated. I'm happy to update/edit if you supply current fees. Thanks!
>>Selected Marriott and Interval International fees
List week with Marriott for rent - Under Marriott's new policy (June, 2006), call Marriott and they will make you an offer for your week, assuming it's a week they want. It's almost certain that you can do far better by renting on your own than through Marriott.
Exchange use of week for Marriott Rewards points - as of 12/12/13, $134 US/Canada/USVI and $144 International
Cancel or change an existing Marriott reservation - $35 (no cancellation permitted within 60 days of check-in)
Divide a lockoff unit to use its two separate parts - as of 12/31/20, $90 (Divide the unit when you make your reservation or later on: for example, if you later decide to rent one or both sides of your unit.)
Use the split week option to use a portion of the week (e.g., Friday, Saturday & Sunday) at one time and the rest at another time - $80 (or $80 for first stay and $29 per subsequent stay for resorts that allow stays of single nights)
Transfer ownership on Marriott's records (resale or other ownership transfer) - $25
Fee to purchaser for Marriott’s issuing a waiver of its Right of First Refusal (“ROFR”) - $95 (effective January 1, 2007)
II fees for exchanges of non-DC-enrolled Weeks (based on what resorts are included in the exchange request): Marriott only - $154; include non-Marriotts within your country of residence - $209; include non-Marriotts outside your country of residence - $209.
II Guest Certificate fee - $49. Note that II rules prohibit renting out any week (exchange, Getaway, Accommodation Certificate week, etc.) obtained through II.

Can anyone direct me as to which forum would be the one to provide insight into how to use/split/reserve a unit that is Lock off eligible?
we own 2 Platinum Holiday weeks at Marriott Maui Ocean Club in a 2/3 Oceanfront unit. Have never done a lock off and wonder how process works and what down sides are?
After reserving your week, or at the same time if you called in, you can have Marriott lock-off the units. Free, I believe if it's an enrolled week, otherwise $90.
Each lock-off week retains the same reservation date in the Marriott system.
To use one or both for another resort/week, you could have Marriott deposit with Interval at the time of lock-off.
Then login to your Interval account and trade each week individually.
We use our lock offs for back to back weeks stays.
We tend to stay in the guest room for the first week, then move into the master for the second week to enjoy the extra space.
