Exchanging a Pono Kai Week

[BCN Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close BCN]

Hi, My husband and I have a 1 bedroom floating week at the Pono Kai and we are thinking about depositing with II as we will not be using it this year. I was wondering what kind of exchanges other Pono Kai owners have gotten through II? Have you gotten better exchanges through other exchange companies? Thanks for any help, Nina

I always get an AC with a summer week, and it sees most everything in II that everyone else sees. However, Angie still sees those Marriott's! (No Marriott preference, obviously).

Thank you Holly, your reply is encouraging that we will get a decent trade. We just closed on a Marriott timeshare so will we qualify for the Marriott preference for the Pono Kai once the Marriott has been deposited in II? This sure can be a puzzle.

I'm not sure about that...I THINK that you have to be searching with a Marriott to see the Marriott preference...at least that's the way it is with VRI...If that is not correct I'm sure that a Marriott expert will be along soon to tell us the real deal.

Good luck!
