Re: Buying Marriott Vacation Club Resale (by Carvan A.):

Dele5,

I think you are confused about the purpose of the 24 day exchange priority Mariott owners enjoy for trading their resort week for a week at another resort. If you purchased an ocean view room at a Marrott timeshare resale you are always entitled to an ocean view room when you return to your home resort. That is what you purchased and that is what you get even if the purchase was resale.

The 24 day priority applies to the times you exchange your week for another Marriott resort through II. The priority places you ahead of other II exchangers (non-Marriott owners) for 24 days. This is a big benefit for Marriott owners and has worked well for us over the years. I have heard for years at Marriott sales presentations that this benefit would soon be withdrawn from buyers of Marriott resales but "soon" is still somewhere out in the future. Our latest trade of a Marriott resale was done within the 24 day window for a 2009 week.
