I may be wrong, but my thought process as to whether or not a view category for an II exchange is honored would be based upon whether or not that view category gets booked up by MVC Abound points users booking directly through MVC.
Unless MVC pulls that inventory strictly for II exchange guest, I could see the business model being to allow MVC points users the opportunity to book the more expensive, best views direct and allocate what’s left to the II exchange guests. I would think there is a hierarchy whereby Marriott to Marriott exchangers have the best shot. From a business perspective and since your selling the virtues of points reservations, I just don’t see them actually pulling better, more expensive views for II exchange guest.
Of course, it could be that the majority of Abound points bookings made are from owners being economical and booking the lowest cost units, leaving the better views available for exchange guests. Just because we typically will pay more for a better view doesn’t mean we’re in the majority or in some cases a larger unit doesn’t mean we’re in the majority.
