Yes, you can upgrade.

We were there July 7, just after the Lahaina Tower opened. We traded in our floating week in the old towers for a new week in the Lahaina Tower.

Of course there was an additional price difference we had to pay between the old week trade-in and the new week we purchased.

It just took a couple of hours to get the paperwork done. There was no special "deal" aside from the usual points value you get as an owner and the $100 gift certificate for the timeshare presentation.

Many of the fixed weeks and ocean front weeks were sold out already -- very popular units.

Thanks. So you feel you got a decent price on your trade-in (now that you're home) !

did you get points when you traded in your unit? did you buy a garden or ocen view?

We traded in an ocean front 2 bedroom in the old units that we purchased at pre-construction prices back when Marriott first started selling Maui timeshares (maybe 1999?).

We think they gave us a good trade-in price. No points for the trade, but very high yearly points for ownership in the new tower -- probably higher than any other Marriott timeshares.

We purchased an ocean front in the new tower. It's just beautiful!
