II, therefore, in order to achieve its goal of providing the Club
Program Exchange Member or Individual Member with an exchange
experience comparable to that which the Week relinquished provides,
assigns a priority to each request based on the following factors:
(a)
The supply of and demand for, within the Exchange Program, the
Week deposited or being offered in exchange and the Home Resort.
(b)
The supply of and demand for, within the Exchange Program, the
Week and Member Resort being requested in exchange.
(c)
The quality, facilities, and overall experience offered by the Home
Resort as compared to the quality, facilities, and overall experience of the
Member Resort being requested in exchange. This is based on evaluation
forms received from exchange guests to such Member Resort, resort
inspections and evaluations, and other information received by II regarding
the resort.
(d)
When the exchange request is received by II. The earlier of two
identical requests for the same vacation Week with identical relinquishment
will receive priority.
(e)
The amount of time prior to the first date of occupancy that the
relinquished Week is provided to II.
(f)
The unit type and private sleeping capacity being relinquished as
compared to the unit type and private sleeping capacity being requested.
The priority established for exchange requests is based on the number of
persons that the deposited or to-be-relinquished accommodations will
accommodate privately. The number of persons accommodated privately is
generally determined on the basis of two people per private sleeping area
having access to a bathroom. Such bathroom access must not interfere with
the privacy of the people who occupy the unit’s other private sleeping areas.
All of the above factors, with the exceptions of when a Club Program
Exchange Member or Individual Member relinquished his or her Week,
when a request is received, and the unit size and configuration of the Week
relinquished and requested, are constantly changing and are updated by II
on an ongoing basis.
10. Individual Members may be restricted from exchanging into resorts
located within the same geographical area as the accommodations being
deposited or relinquished. There are currently restrictions in Aruba;
Barbados; Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; Cancún, Mexico; Cyprus; Dominican
Republic; Door County, Wisconsin; Eastern British Columbia, Canada;
Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Tennessee; Grand Bahama Island; Grand Cayman
Island; Guatemala; Hawaii (the Big Island); Maui, Hawaii; Kauai, Hawaii;
Hilton Head, South Carolina; Lake Tahoe, California; Las Vegas, Nevada;
Madeira, Portugal; Malta; Marco Island, Florida; Mazatlán, Mexico; Naples,
Florida; Okaloosa/Walton County, Florida; Orlando/Kissimmee, Florida;
Palm Desert, California; Palm Springs, California; Phuket, Thailand;
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Riviera Maya, Mexico; Riviera Nayarit, Mexico;
St. Maarten; Stateline, Nevada; Summit County, Colorado; Virginia Beach,
Virginia; and Williamsburg, Virginia. Generally, this restriction does not
apply to Club Program Exchange Members or Individual Members
requesting an exchange to a MVCI Resort or another Member Resort under
common ownership or management with the MVCI Resorts, pursuant to
the Section titled Marriott Vacation Club Internal Exchange Procedures and
Priorities below. Additional geographic areas may be restricted in the future.
Club Program Exchange Members and Individual Members affected by any
future restrictions will be advised via II’s regular publications.
11. Club Program Exchange Members seeking an exchange based on the
relinquishment of a Week(s) and Individual Members may request to travel
with a number of people equal to the maximum occupancy of the Week
deposited or to be relinquished, provided that the number of people
traveling does not exceed the standard traveling party size applicable to
such accommodations. The standard traveling party size associated with
each unit type is as follows: hotel, studio, or efficiency unit — two persons;
one-bedroom unit — four persons; two-bedroom unit — six persons;
three-bedroom unit — eight persons, and four-bedroom unit — 10 persons.
12. Confirmations may be made into any unit that will accommodate the
number of people in the Club Program Exchange Member’s or Individual
Member’s traveling party, even where the accommodations deposited or
relinquished can accommodate a greater number of people. For example, if
a Club Program Exchange Member or Individual Member relinquishes a
two-bedroom unit that accommodates six people, but is traveling with only
four people, he or she may be confirmed into either a two-bedroom or
one-bedroom unit. In all instances, exchange opportunities are enhanced by
accepting any unit that will accommodate the number of people traveling.
GENERAL EXCHANGE PROCEDURES AND PRIORITIES
1.
To utilize the exchange privilege, pursuant to these terms and
conditions, including Special Exchange Services, Club Program Members
and Individual Members must be in good standing with II, MORI, and, as
it relates to the Club Program Members, the MVC Destinations Program
from the time a deposit is made and/or a request is placed through the
actual requested and/or confirmed travel dates and/or, in the case of a Club
Program Exchange Member choosing to continue to receive his or her
exchange benefits based on the relinquishment of a Week(s), and all
Individual Members, the commencement date of the Week deposited
(whichever occurs later). Further, MORI and the MVC Destinations
Program must be in good standing with II.
2. All regular exchange requests must be received by II at least 60 days
in advance of the commencement date of the earliest Week requested. For
exchange requests made less than 60 days prior to the travel date requested,
Flexchange is a service in which vacation exchange requests may be
submitted from 59 days up until 24 hours in advance of the travel dates
desired. Available Host Accommodations for the date requested will be
offered, and a Confirmation will be instantly issued if one of the availabilities
is accepted at the time of the offer. Holiday, summer, and other highly
demanded weeks usually are not available through Flexchange.
3. Once an exchange request is submitted, it may be canceled only if
notice of cancellation is received by II prior to Confirmation of the request.
Once issued, a Confirmation may be canceled only in accordance with II’s
Exchange Cancellation Policy, as described in Paragraph 8 below.
4. To submit a valid exchange request, a minimum of three different
resorts and one time period, three different time periods and one resort, or
two different resorts and two different time periods must be requested.
Club Program Members and Individual Members may be confirmed into
any resort or time period requested.
5. ShortStay Exchange (“ShortStay Exchange”) is an exchange service
offered by II to members in good standing with the Interval Gold and
Interval Platinum membership programs, in which, upon payment of the
appropriate fee and any applicable tax, Club Program Members and Individual
Members can be confirmed to resort accommodations for periods of less
than seven days. A Club Program Member may relinquish Points or, in the
case of a Club Program Exchange Member choosing to continue to receive
his or her exchange benefits based on the relinquishment of a Week(s) as
well as all Individual Members, a Week(s) may be relinquished to participate
in a ShortStay Exchange. Club Program Exchange Members and Individual
Members relinquishing a Week may secure up to two ShortStay Exchange
Confirmations for resort accommodations of equal or lesser size than the
Home Resort accommodations, while those Club Program Members
relinquishing Points may confirm as many ShortStay Exchange Confirmations
as their available Points will allow. A ShortStay Exchange Confirmation will
not be issued until the availability of the Home Resort Week or required
number of Points is verified. Holiday, summer, and other highly demanded
travel periods usually will not be available through ShortStay Exchange.
II’s Exchange Cancellation Policy does not apply to ShortStay Exchange
Confirmations. A cancellation of a ShortStay Exchange Confirmation
results in the loss of the Points or Week relinquished as well as the
exchange fee paid to secure such Confirmation.
All other terms and
conditions of the Exchange Program apply to this exchange service, except
as noted to the contrary above.
6.
Exchanges are arranged on a space-available basis. Neither II, MORI,
nor the MVC Destinations Program can guarantee the fulfillment of a
specific request, as weeks are received on a periodic basis throughout the
year.
Generally, II does not control the timing, location, or number of weeks
available to the Exchange Program. Club Program Members and Individual
Members may place requests for as many Confirmations as desired so long
as the Club Program Member or Individual Member has the necessary
Points or Week(s) available to support the requested exchanges.
7. Only II can confirm exchange requests, and only II written Confirmations
are valid. II will attempt to confirm a request until 48 hours before the
latest travel dates requested; however, beginning on the 29th day prior to
the latest travel dates requested, II will contact the Club Program Member
or Individual Member by telephone in order to obtain acceptance (or
rejection) by the Club Program Member or Individual Member prior to
issuing a Confirmation.
8. (a) For Individual Members who wish to change their Host
Accommodations subsequent to receiving a Confirmation (including a
Confirmation received through the Special Marriott Vacation Club Internal
Exchange Option as defined below under Marriott Vacation Club Internal
Exchange Procedures and Priorities), but without canceling their Confirmation,
E-Plus is available to allow such Individual Members to “retrade” their
original Confirmation, up to a total of three times, upon the payment of an
additional fee. The use of E-Plus may be purchased at any time commencing
at the time an exchange request is initially placed and continuing up to five
(5) days following the issuance of a Confirmation, so long as the purchase is
prior to the first date of occupancy of the Host Accommodations and the
Host Resort is in good standing with II. E-Plus may be used to secure up to
three (3) retrades of the Individual Member’s Host Accommodations and/or
