As for whether or not Marriott owns part of Interval, all i can tell you is that when I bought at Newport Coast in 1999, my sales agent (maybe as an inducement?) told me that Marriott was part owner of II and that would "unofficially" give Marriott owners some preference when using II's services. In looking up this issue online, I also came across a site known as timesharejuice.com which states the following in one of their posts: "Interval International is part of IILG - Interval International Leisure Group. Marriott Vacation Club is a major investor in Interval International when they got started 20 years ago. Interval International was divested from USA Interactive several years ago. Interval World is the website for Interval International." Further - at this link: http://web.timesharejuice.com/interval-international/ there is add'l info that states: "Interval (II) received initial funding by Marriott, the global hotel and resort developer."
