Banking a week (by Kimberly W.):

The odds of ever getting two weeks together at your resort are next to zero. The only way that this could happen would be if someone were to bank their current year's week to coincide with the exact week you need to extend your one week trip to a two week trip. For example, let's say that you have your current week booked for 8/1/09 to 8/8 and you want to exchange the week you have banked so that you can extend your vacation to two weeks. That means that interval (or whatever club you belong to) would have to offer either the week before or the week after those days you already have booked. For that to happen, someone else who has a timeshare at your resort would have to bank one of those weeks -- something that is not likely to happen!! While this process might work out at other resorts, it is never going to happen in Hawaii -- the resorts are just too popular, and no one banks their weeks. You have been deceived. The only likelihood of your ever doing multiple weeks at your resort is if you are traveling at a time when no one else does! If that is the case, you are fortunate. For those of us tied to the summer months, we will never get the Hawaiian vacation we have hoped for -- at least not at our timeshare!! Good luck, Kim
