Do I need to add a second identical unit to my II account?

[bizaro86]

I own a 1-52 float SDO annual, and just bought another week, a 1-52 SDO float odd years. I have the annual week added to my interval account, and have used it to exchange.

However, in 2017 I have already used my SDO annual for a stay at SDO. Given how late it is in 2017, I'd prefer to deposit the new odd year to interval. Interval still shows my 2017 as available to deposit, and I'm wondering if I deposit it through them will SVO just give them my new float week? I'd prefer not to pay to add another sdo week or extend my II membership, but do want to deposit.

If anyone has any experience or suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I don't see much downside, so I might just try it, but thought I'd check with Tug first.

I think you will be ok but the next time you have to extend your membership go ahead and add it in case you want to deposit both the same year.

Thought I would follow up on this thread, as I now have an actual data point. This wasn't ok, as apparently the SDO in my account is linked to a contract number, which is my first contract. I tried to use the SDO float in my account for an exchange, and it booted it back as a failure. VSE wouldn't send the other week for me, and I had to call II to renew for a year and get the week added.

I still think it was worth trying in the absence of additional information, but if I ever buy another one I won't bother, because it took a 30 min conference call with VSE and II to deal with it, and I have to call back tomorrow to get the new deposit assigned to my existing exchange (which is on hold)

This may seem to depend on the developer. With II, as long as your weeks aren't enrolled in DC, you really don't need to add subsequent units for the same resort and unit size. If you want to make additional deposits after the first, you just call and they provide supplemental replacement deposits.

II is right up there with RCI as a greedy company. I paid money to add my Blue Ridge Village week and my Marriott's Willow Ridge units (3), and now they are gone from my account because the deeding of the weeks is not the same as my SBP. They are saying the kids' names are not on those weeks, yet they sure are, so it's going to be a matter of proving to II all over again that my weeks match the deeds of the SBP.

I did it once, then II supposedly asked for Marriott to confirm the deeding of the weeks (BRV too), and now I have to do it all over again. Did I already say that?

Definitely depends on developer. Maybe should have clarified, but I posted this in the Vistana forum because the info is definitely Vistana specific. It was Vistana who rejected the trade, saying the contract numbers didn't match. The II guy was confused why the Vistana rep didn't just send over the weeks.

The match to Vistana contract number appears to have been automatic, as there were a number of references to "when the system pulled the week it matched it to contract xxxxx" which I had already used (for a home resort reservation)
