We usually book Thanksgiving week for our silver seasom Mountainside. This year (for the first time) there were no Thanksgiving dates open, so I booked the week after Thanksgiving, Nov.23-30, 2012, as that last week of silver would have the greatest chance of snow. It however, is the very lowest II exchange value, but in the DC chart is offered for 4450 points, quite a bit more than the 1225 points we'd get if we ever chose to exchange for points. (We won't!)
So I am wondering if this is a rare occurance, or does Marriott regularly charge that much more in DC points for a week just prior to a higher value season in other resorts?
Depending on our plans for the rest of the year, we either use it or lock off and exchange through II. Thanksgiving week at Mountainside is pretty low on the II index, but it has always
given us excellent exchanges. However, the week after Thanksgiving is as low as you can go on II index, but Marriott DC points are much, much higher for that one silver week. So which rating do we believe?
