I woke up early this morning, 6am just to book my Ko'Olina unit for the 1st time after our purchase! I was able to get the dates that I want for next summer! banana. So, here's the deal.... I locked off our unit and using the Master Unit next year 2017 (which is our year of use of EOY) so that leaves the guest room free at the moment. I currently do not have an II account but I plan to enroll once I know I need it. Speaking with the Marrriott agent this morning, I explained to her that I don't know yet what to do with my guest unit but for sure I will not be using it next year in Ko'Olina as I do not see our family going back there twice next year. So it's either I will use it in Ko'Olina or Maui in 2018. She said if I deposit it in II, I will have 2 years to use it. But she did say I will have to book a week at Marriott Ko'Olina first and then deposit that week in II.
- is that true?
- thought I didn't have to book a specific week, but just deposit a week and look to see if my desired week to go in Ko'Olina or Maui in 2018 becomes available?
What's the order or events when I do this? If I do need to do this, I can call them back today and book the 2nd week of our stay so I can have 2 consecutive weeks. And she said if I decide later that I do not want the 2nd week, i can deposit it to II and it should have trading power since it's the last week of July and it's always a busy time in Ko'Olina and a lot of ppl are always looking for those days. input???
OR I can call back (when inventory opens) and book a week of Thanksgiving or Dec (not Xmas week) and either deposit that OR if I end up wanting to rent it out, that should work well too.
