I put in a request for all HI with Marriott or Starwood resorts and got a confirmation for August 10-17, 2018 then got another week for August 17-24, 2018.

I will probably re-trade the 10-17th week for 2019 but thought it was amazing that I got the Westin at all.

Is August not popular?

Nice trade! :clap: Most West Coast kids go back to school in August these days, so August is not a popular as it used to be.

Good trade! Can you confirm if this was into a studio or a 1 bedroom?

Great resort. We enjoyed our week there. We really like to go during Jan-Mar for whale watching but it's awesome no matter the season.

Nice!
Did you use a Starwood unit to trade?
1 or 2 bedroom?

Tarahsu, please come back and share the details of the unit you traded, and the size of unit you traded into! Sounds like I'm not the only one to be interested in having a data point. For reference, I'm waiting on a 1br trade during those dates using my large side 1br SDO unit.

I now see this in the posters profile, so I will assume this was a Starwood trade

I traded SDO Odd 1 bedroom and SDO Even 1 bedroom LO side
So now I have 2 weeks August 10-17 and 17-24 2018 because I put the wrong one into trade for 2018 the first time.
I will retrade August 10-17 to another destination in 2019

It wasn't a direct Starwood trade as I bought these resale for $1 on ebay. I traded via Interval.

Hi Chrispee
Sorry for the delay. I didn't get a notification on replies.

I traded my resale SDO units:
Sheraton Desert Oasis - Platinum Plus
SI1 Unit: 1BEDB (1 Bedroom)
Received: 1 bedroom at Westin Ka'anapali
Date: August 17-24, 2018

Sheraton Desert Oasis - Gold Plus/Red
SI2 Unit: 1BED (1 Bedroom)
Received: 1 bedroom at Westin Ka'anapali
Date: August 10-17, 2018
*** will put this back to retrade somewhere else as it doesn't expire until 2019
