Mayflower Exchange Request

I have a pending Interval Exchange request. I was trying to add the Mayflower (MFL) to my request but the Interval request won't accept it. Does anyone know why this is? Perhaps need destination points and not Interval trades? Thanks for your response.

FYI. I spoke to Interval. The reason the Mayflower was not being accepted as an exchange request was because my criteria included a kitchen. The Mayflower Hotel does not have Kitchens therefore, was filtered out of my request. If I had selected studio, it would have been included.

DC & NYC Vacation with Kids June 2017

Moderators please move or start a new thread if that would be more appropriate
Hi there all,
in the early planning phase for a DC vacation end of June. I am Marriott Rewards Platinum this year (and hope next year as I don't have enough nights for next years platinum status just yet) and have enough points for 7nights in category 7 or 8 hotel and flight package.

Flying in from SFO, best options are Dulles airport and thinking of staying at Mayflower or JW in DC. Does one have better chances over the other of an upgrade to a Suite? I know Mayflower is also a TS property so might have more suites available?

Would spend 7nights in DC then planning to go to NYC for 3nights then fly back to SFO from JFK or LGA etc.

What would be the best way to get to NYC from DC, do you recommend taking the Amtrak?
Also, a Marriott recommendation in NYC please, not planning on renting a car this whole trip and don't want to return to DC for flight back.

TIA

At The Mayflower the timeshare inventory is managed totally separate from the hotel inventory, so the fact that the MVC timeshare is co-located in the same building will have no impact on your ability to reserve or upgrade in the hotel section. The MVC timeshare units are all on one floor, I think. The only way to get the timeshare units is to use Destination Club Points or snag one of the units that get deposited to II. It's almost like two different hotels under one roof - a hotel owned and managed by Marriott International, Inc. and a timeshare owned and managed by Marriott Vacations Worldwide, Inc. Two totally separate companies.

Thx, What are the chances of getting Mayflower in June 2017 if I put in a request with II now?

I have no idea. Maybe someone with more II trading experience can help with that one. It depends on how many units Marriott deposits in II since no one owns Mayflower except the MVC Trust
