We have a seven night reservation at KoOlina for December that is an II exchange. The Marriott II Unit Code is ZZAA-Ocean View 2BR unit that locks off in to 1BR and studio. We are looking to add a single night before the 7 night reservation. Here is our thinking with possibilities. Our one night reservation would be for a studio. We currently have a MV penthouse unit booked since it is the same points cost as the regular MV studio, but that can be changed if needed by renting some additional points. The odd number of points required for the studio units would require us to rent more points than needed since transfers are limited to 25 point increments.
- Reserve an OV studio for the one night and hope that the property will just allow us to open the lock off door once the 1BR side is available. This would save a move and keep us in the unit category that is assigned to the current II exchange. One issue with this is that I am currently about 50 points short of the number of points needed for the reservation. Somewhat easy to rent.
- Reserve a MV and hope for a move to the unit category of the II exchange. With the move being early in the stay, we wil have long forgotten it by the end of our trip.
- If the property is going to downgrade our II exchange, we could keep the MV penthouse and hope that they just allow us to open up in to the 1BR side and avoid the move. Staying in a MV top floor unit may take away the sting of not having the OV.
- Reserve a MV regular studio and hop they open us up to the 1BR side. This would probably be the easiest to accomplish given the severe downgrade.
