Just curious..what would silver have cost?
How many Marriott reward Points does this trade for?
Is it EOY?

Silver was over $10000, Platinum over $40000. It is every year.

There is NO points option with Summit Watch bronze.

Yes, I read it in your reply above.....LOL
I was just clarifying what my original "EOY" post was about - points, not use years - I understood the purchase by Jim was every year.

LOL...did I repeat myself?

Sorry about that.

Enjoy the benefits of flexchange opportunities from bronze weeks to platinum and gold through II while they last. I suspect this option (at least among Marriotts) may cease once Marriott takes over internal Marriott to Marriott exchanges.

Steve

I am considering the same option Boca took, if it is still available??

The point Steve makes is a big uncertainty. Who knows how long the flexchange opportunities will last whenever Marriott starts their internal program. If I made this purchase, I would try for flexchanges into Manor Club (golf) or taking a last second beach trip to MB/Hilton Head (even if it is a shoulder week). Another concern I have is the high maintance fees compared to Manor Club's lockoffs. But Manor Club doesn't cost $1500 out the door!

What to do!!??

Well, I've owned mine for a week and I've already broke even by exchanging for 2 - 2br units at Ko'Olina. If I donated it to charity next week, I'd be ahead of the game because I would get a tax deduction.
This is a no brainer purchase if you can use Flexchange.

By the time Marriott implements a new program, I will probably have used my Summit Watch to stay at a dozen Marriott's.

I sent you an email Boca.

Boca,

Thanks again. Everything went smooth. Sending out the contract today!

BocaBum, how did you get two weeks for the one? You are the kahuna of timeshare! l say this so often, it is becoming a cliche, but so true.

What are the MF's again?

He locked off is 2BR unit into a studio and 1BR and then traded each side into the 2BR units during 'flexchange'.....60 days before check-in....
he will have to tell you the MFs but probably between $800&900.

I copied BocaBum99's answer from another bbs:

On Sept 25, I called Marriott to set up my account and book a week 44 Summit Watch unit through Marriott, split it for $75 and deposited both halves into II. That very day, I confirmed a 2 bedroom Ko'Olina unit for Oct 6-13 using a late deposit 1 bedroom unit.

On Sept 30, I confirmed another 2 bedroom Ko'Olina unit for Nov 24-Dec 1 using the Studio half of my late deposit week 44 bronze summit watch unit.

So, total out of pocket was $835.24 SW Bronze MF, plus $75 split, plus $89 II, plus $89 II.

That is a total of $1088.24 for 2 weeks in a 2 bedroom unit at Marriott Ko'Olina.
