We are hoping to go to Florida (Orlando) late spring, after spring break crowd likely April 27ish but have flexibility on date of arrival. I have deposited a two bedroom, sleeps 8 for trade and lots of options pop up when I search a trade that would fit the bill nicely. My home resort is in Fairmont, my week is the very last one in June with Interval International (if that is important). I can see there are also lots of reasonable 'getaways' for that time period. I have an AC, and when I search with it, there shows some availability also for Florida for the dates. We are hoping friends will come with us so we need two units, and could use both our trade and this AC to pull it off. But, I notice there is this 'choose 2' promotion advertised. I am wondering are we better to wait until the 90 day window, book with our trade, do the 'choose 2' option and save the AC? Or is that too risky that i wind up without anything? I assume the Choose 2 fees are similar to the cost of using the AC? What would you do? I could also save our trade and book Florida as a getaway as they are pretty plentiful and not too $$, saving our trade for something else (but not sure what). Suggestions are most welcome!

It looks like the Choose 2 are a little cheaper, you only pay the exchange fee. You will have to do the math on your maint fee plus 2 exchange fees versus one AC fee plus Getaway.

I think your odds a good either way because as you say Orlando after spring break in April is plentiful.
