FOR MARRIOTT VACATION

CLUB OWNERS

There are two steps to exchanging your week:

Contact Marriott Vacation Club Owner

Services to reserve a week within the season

you own at your home resort. It is necessary to

have a reserved week prior to beginning the

exchange process.

(Note: If you have a lock-off option, this is when

you will choose to either lock-off to exchange a

smaller portion of your villa, or to exchange your

full villa.)

Once your home resort week is reserved,

contact Interval International’s Marriott vaca-

tion advisors to begin the exchange process.

CHOOSING THE EXCHANGE METHOD

THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU

Use

Deposit First

when you do not wish to

occupy your reserved home resort week. You

may deposit your week up to one year prior

to the check-in date at your home resort.

Then you may request an exchange as soon as

your home resort week is deposited. Your

exchange travel must be completed within

two years of the occupancy dates of the week

you deposited. This method provides up to a

three-year travel window.

Request First

is the method to use when you

would like to use your home resort week if

Interval International is not able to fulfill your

exchange request. This method gives you the

security of retaining your home resort reserva-

tion until the confirmation is received. You

may request to travel up to the check-in date of

your reserved home resort week. This method

provides up to a one-year travel window.

Special Marriott Internal Exchange

is the

method when you are requesting other Marriott

Vacation Club resorts exclusively (placing an

Internal Exchange request), and you would like

to combine the security of the Request First

exchange method with the flexibility of request-

ing an exchange after your home resort reser-

vation. This method allows you to retain your

home resort reservation until a confirmation is

received,

and

you may request to travel up to

one year after your reservation. Please note that

at the time of your request, you must select

one of the following options in the event

Interval International is not able to confirm

your exchange request 75 days prior to your

home resort reservation:

Interval International returns your home

resort week, cancels the request, and refunds

your exchange fee.

Interval International deposits your home

resort week as a Deposit First and continues to

search for a match.

TYPES OF EXCHANGE

Internal Exchange:

When you request to

exchange exclusively to other MarriottVacation

Club resorts, you are requesting an Internal

Exchange. If you own Marriott Vacation Club

weeks that are enrolled with the Marriott

Vacation Club Destinations program, the

exchange fee for Internal Exchange requests is

included with your Club Dues. Owners of

Marriott Vacation Club weeks who are not

enrolled in the Marriott Vacation Club Desti-

nations programmust pay an Internal Exchange

fee for each week exchanged.

External Exchange:

When you choose a

non–Marriott Vacation Club resort, or a com-

bination of Marriott and non-Marriott resorts,

you are requesting an External Exchange.

Owners will pay an External Exchange fee per

week exchanged. The amount of the External

Exchange fee varies based on the country in

which your desired destination is located.

EXCHANGE PRIORITY

Weeks relinquished by Marriott Vacation Club

Owners will be offered to other Marriott

Vacation Club Owners requesting a compara-

ble Internal Exchange before becoming avail-

able to other Interval International members.

All exchanges take place using a system of

comparable exchanges, which are based on the

following factors:

Supply of and demand for the vacation

weeks being requested and being relin-

quished within the exchange program.

(Refer to each geographical region’s Travel

Demand Index, located in this Directory and

at IntervalWorld.com.)

Quality and location of resort

Time of year

Private sleeping capacity of the villa

Date the home resort week is relinquished

Date the request is placed

When Marriott Vacation Club Owners are

competing for the same week(s) and these

factors are comparable, Owners requesting an

exchange to their home resort will receive

priority over other Owners who do not own at

that resort.

Thank you for understanding that reservation requests

can only be accepted from Owners whose accounts

remain current. Please pay any outstanding charges prior

to making your reservation.

Marriott Vacation Club and Interval International

guidelines are subject to change. Members will be

provided written notice of any changes.

TIPS FOR INCREASING

YOUR CONFIRMATION

OPPORTUNITIES

If, at the time of your call or Web search,

Interval International is unable to provide

what you are looking for, please allow the

system to work in your favor by placing a

vacation exchange request with a minimum

of three different resorts and at least one time

period, one resort and three time periods, or

two resorts and two time periods.

Your objective when placing a vacation

exchange request is to receive an automatic

match. Optimize your chances by providing as

many options in your vacation exchange

request as you are comfortable accepting.

Request a week with seasonal demand

comparable to that of your deposited week

(refer to each region’s Travel Demand Index).

Request a week well in advance.

Accept smaller accommodation than the

villa you deposited. For example, if you

deposit a villa that sleeps six people and your

traveling party consists of four people,

consider accepting an exchange unit that

sleeps four people.
