As you are likely aware, as of December 2014, all Members of The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club now have the ability to take advantage of exchange opportunities within the Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Exchange Program through enrollment in The Lion & Crown Exchange Program, should they choose to do so. As a Member who is enrolled in The Lion & Crown Exchange Program, you have the ability to deposit a week or more of your allocated time, on a completely voluntary basis, and receive exchange points for use within the Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Exchange Program.

Please allow me to extend a reminder that although the deadline to deposit use rights associated with allocated time occurring in the 2015 CALENDAR year would normally have closed on September 30, 2014, this deadline has been extended to February 28, 2015 for Members of The Ritz-Carlton Club, Aspen Highlands, The Ritz-Carlton Club, Lake Tahoe, The Ritz-Carlton Club, San Francisco and The Ritz-Carlton Club, St. Thomas who are enrolled in The Lion & Crown Exchange Program; however, the deposit window to deposit such allocated time will be closed no less than 45 days in advance of the arrival date of the allocated time to be deposited. For all future years, the deposit windows will be as set forth in the applicable exchange documents in place from time to time.

In order to utilize the exchange opportunity within the Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Exchange Program, you will need to acknowledge receipt of the Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Exchange Program Procedures, Disclosure Guide and points chart. Below is a link to those documents. Once you have opened and printed the documents accessed through the links, and reviewed and accepted, click on the "I Accept" button. Once you have affirmatively acknowledged receipt of the documents, an email acknowledgment will be sent to you for your records.

If you have any questions regarding the information above, the Ladies and Gentlemen of Member Services are available to assist. In addition, if you would like to learn more about the options that you have access to through exchange with the Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Exchange Program, including the Explorer Collection, they will be delighted to provide you with additional information.
