Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Brion S.):
That is because there are three different types of availability.
#1 - Legacy Weeks Owner Inventory a. Which can be traded for destination exchange points (if enrolled) which at this time goes into the #2 Pool when done. b. If traded into Interval the week goes to interval, if traded into Interval through Marriott the week goes to #3 and then Marriott decides the equivalent week it wishes to give to Interval.
#2 - Trust Point Inventory a. If traded into Interval via Marriott the points go to #3 and then Marriott gives equivalency to Interval b. Points traded to destination options such as Cruises, etc.. go to #3
#3 - Developer Inventory (Non Sold units/points that Marriott pays the yearly fees to the HOA of the property on) a. Becomes room rentals for Marriott and equivalency trades to interval. (basically Marriott making back their Owner Fees)
The #3 inventory is what is being used for the Per night online Marriott.com rentals.. #3 inventory is also what is provided to Interval when someone deposits a week via Marriotts system as they are not required to provide interval with You're exact week only an equivalent one so in many cases if someone deposits a Hawaii Week through Marriott (not through interval) Marriott will instead give interval something else like Vegas where they have more Developer Inventory.
