When using
DVC as an II trade vehicle, you must forget most of what you know about II and timeshare exchanges. DVC is actually the corporate member and we tag along on their coat tails.
With DVC you can only exchange for the resorts on their list, exchange points for the same size unit as you get NOT necessarily what you need, no trade up in season or unit size, no bonus weeks and no getaway purchases. On the good side, no membership fee, search first with a hold feature, search up to 2 years out and $75 exchange fee.
Hopefully this will answer most of your questions.
