In 2020 I will have 2 weeks to use, a week at Imperial Palms in Orlando and a week at Ko Olina resort in Oahu.
Both of my kids are in College (different colleges) so now we vacation either the first or second week of January and sometime in early or late summer. We have discussed our options and we would like to go to Orlando in January and try to go to the Big Island in May.
So here is my plan...
January
- Book Orlando
- Convert Ko Olina to Points
- Book Orlando with Points
- Place an ongoing request first search in II for Big Island in May and August
Scenario A) If we match Big Island...
- Use remaining points to add on to Big Island and/or Orlando
- Use remaining points to book another trip
Scenario B) If we do not match Big Island...
- Book Big Island with points
- Cancel II request first
A question that I think I know the answer to that will probably kill this plan is... Will any Big Island Marriott ever show up in II? I assume they will not sell deeded weeks into this new resort and only points. If that is the case we probably will do Scenario B.
Am I missing anything here?
