Who has exchanged into Four Seasons Aviara via Interval?

[LyublyuTravel]

Trying to understand the criteria by which people were able to exchange into the Four Seasons Aviara via Interval. If you have exchanged into it, what property did you deposit to do so. I already deposit using Four Seasons Scottsdale but wanted to know how it works with owners at other timeshare systems.

Welk owns quite a few weeks at Aviara and Troon North and Welk owners can trade directly without using interval international. However, I'm pretty confident that if we deposited into II that we would be able to do so.
I know this wasn't an answer 100% to your question but about non-four seasons owners being able to trade in.

I've never actually exchanged there, but I have seen it available in inventory during low season with my Hyatt via Interval International. I've been tempted to stay there, but I always end up booking elsewhere. I have also seen availability with a Worldmark.

Your FS Scottsdale deposit will have priority access to deposits at FS Residence Club at Aviara and Scottsdale before it’s made available to non-FS owners. So what you see online in Interval International for the two FS Residence Club properties may not be viewable to non-owners yet .

FS requires some trading power. It varies based on property/location and/or unit size.

We are staying there in March using Hyatt

We stayed there May 2019 but used our Welk Ownership.

I booked it using Worldmark (many years back) and have seen it online a few times since.

I also booked it using Worldmark quite a few years ago during low season— we went the end of February. I got a great trade there the week between Christmas and New Years about 6 years ago on flex time with Ii. It popped up 3 weeks out.
I have also seen it pop up occasionally since, but have not been in the market.

I traded in using the Worldmark deposit first method (as opposed to the request first method using credits). I traded for an off season week (late November, early December) one bedroom unit using an off season Worldmark one bedroom unit (WorldMark Seaside week49) which required use of 5,000 credits to deposit into II. The trade was in 2018 but I have seen the resort off season weeks somewhat often although usually not 2 bedroom units. The resort was very nice but we actually liked Newport Coast Villas in Orange County a good bit more because it is closer to the ocean.

Just stayed there (mid-January 2021). I used a Marriott studio unit to trade into a 1BR at Four Seasons Aviara, and then was able to use ePlus to upgrade that to a 2BR during Flexchange. Normally, this probably would not have been possible, but I'm sure that a shortage of travelers due to Covid-19 helped.

We traded last year right before the Pandemic in Feb using Hyatt

I just traded into there with an Sheraton Vistana Villages 1 BR platinum, end of September 2021.

I have stayed there using my Welk ownership. Nice resort. Welk does not have any high season summer weeks. I have not tried to stay there using my Vistana ownership via II.

I just booked using studio SDO. I tried prior w/ our WDW but availability was limited for 2bdrm.

Do you have to pay resort fees when trading in through Interval?

No resort fees for me through Interval trade.

I stayed both at Aviara and Troon N during the last year and was not charged for any resort fees for either stay.
