I have just noticed that Interval are offering a bonus accommodation credit if I deposit my 2018 Marriott week.

In previous years, the "value" of the acc. credit has been varied. Has anyone received one for this latest promotion and can tell if Marriott resorts have been excluded from exchanging into ?

Thanks

It really depends on what you expect to get both when and where. For the most part AC's are not a good value.

Yes, usually Marriotts are excluded.

My thoughts....if you were going to deposit the weeks anyway, why not get the ACs. If you don't use....there is nothing lost. You could even give to family or friend for use.

If you were going to use or rent your week...then stick with that plan.

This. I think most here are bummed that the previous value of an AC was pretty darn good. Now, not so much. Still, it's better than getting a rock.

Too funny....heck, I just used my Freebie AC for a LM unit at Custom House. I thought that to be one heck of a score.

OP - sorry to confuse as I mentioned above that Marriotts are out of the ACs.....in some rare cases they do pop up for use. I can't figure it out. I could get a 1BR summer custom house with it....but heck if I can ever find even an Orlando studio off season with one!
