TDI charts are on Interval. Go to the resort directory, find your resort (or any resort in your region- the TDI is the same) and read the TDI of the week off the chart ( week number is Y axis, TDI is X). The number next to the chart is not TDI, it’s an area code number.
If your online account isn’t set up you could try calling MVC to see if they can reserve for you. You might try chat if you want to do it today and see if they can see your account or maybe get you set up. You need to type ‘advisor‘ usually 3 times to get by the bot.
I plan to trade on interval. Is it better to set up an interval account now or wait until I book my week via marriott? I read the interval may let me register my week for free.

If your week is not enrolled in MVC destination club it just goes in a personal II account so should be fine to go ahead and buy your membership to II.
Have a look at the faq and buyers guide (under legal) at the bottom of any page on II so you can familiarize yourself With the rules and workings.

I am officially an owner today. I would like to try and lock off my 2 bedroom. I currently can not access my online account. Can I call marriott to lock off and book or is it easier to do online? Do you have a link for the 2023 Grand Chateau TDI?
Thank you in advance...
Wow ... almost exactly 5 months to the date! ... I am entertaining one of these on redweek right now, it's first use is 2023, so it looks like I'll completely miss all the good weeks! Good luck with your purchase. BTW how long did the ROFR take them?

I've been told that anything over about 10 months shouldn't make any difference. Frank, did you see better or just more with the Easter week?

Sorry just saw this post now a few weeks later.

I saw more units in open inventory with Easter week. Both were deposited 12-14 months out.
