Need clarification...if we purchase a Marriott Resale through a Red Week posting, would the reservation for the timeshare still be made through Marriott's website? Also can it be deposited with Interval International for regular exchange? We are current Marriott owners and have an II account...would we have to establish a new membership to handle the exchange or can we use our Marriott II Membership? Understand that it probably can't be exchanged for Marriott Reward or Destination Points...is this also correct?

If you buy a resale from anywhere or anyone, you will ultimately have to deal with Marriottt. First Marriott has the right of first refusal so in order to purchase the timeshare, they have to basically okay you to buy it because they can buy it from the owner at the price you offered first. If they don't execisse that right, then you can proceed with your sale. If you have a Marriott Interval International account you can place your resale on it. However, if you belong to the DC and have a Marriott Interval International account from the points system then you cannot add your resale to that account. No you will not be able to get Marriott Rewards points or Destination points with this purchase since it is after they June 2010 deadline. I hope this answers your questions.
