do you know where you can find the price of the all inclusive resorts when trying to book? I tried to look, just to see how much it would cost but couldn't find anything. Not sure if I am just not looking in the right place. I was curious about going to the all inclusive resorts and was wondering if it was worth it to trade in my week then have to pay for the all inclusive.You can cancel an exchange later than 24 hours, but you lose your exchange fee and need to pay a new one if you exchange again.
You can purchase eplus within 5 days of confirming an exchange. This gives you 3 manual (not requests) retrades within one year of your check in date to find a trip.
If your week is enrolled in the DC their is no exchange fee MVC to Marriott brands so if that case you can just use manual retrade to change your exchange as needed- you don’t lose your fee because you didn’t pay one.
I personally do a lot of research before I chose a destination- I have a look at weather, flights and research resorts on trip advisor and then I place a request (ongoing search) as far in advance as possible (12-13 months is ideal for MVC- but I place it anyway even if it’s a lot sooner). Gems do pop up, but requesting gives your priority if you are a MVC owner trading to an MVC property.
There is an active community on II with lots of expertise in using that site, and there are instructional videos on how to use the site in the general discussion section of the community, plus a faq and buyers guide (legal) at the bottom of every page.
Pricing is in the faq, or you can just start an exchange to see the price and close out if you don’t like it. Read the spe I’ll advisements too- if the resort is all inclusive or charges other fees you have to pay them to the redort.
We’ve had great luck exchanging on II for nearly 15 years- never didn’t get an exchange that worked for me or lost a week I couldn't use.
