Deposited a platinum Marriott Manor Club studio and placed request for Marriott Cypress Harbor for October, as the resort has only 2 bedroom units. We matched the next day and purchased ePlus, hoping to trade later for Marriott Lakeshore Reserve (our favorite).

This morning we scored a 2 bedroom at Lakeshore Reserve!!

Awesome!!!!!!!!

And I'll post my awesome upcoming trade as a 2 bedroom at Lakeshore for 4th of July week. I got that with an OGS with my Foxrun week, done about a year in advance.

We have an XYZ at Cypress Harbour in Oct. We've never stayed there and DH is really keen to try it out.

I exchanged a studio unit at Star Island for Marriott Custom House for Thanksgiving week this fall. We're all pretty excited.

One of my favorite (three) exchanges...

Three consecutive last minute weeks (back in May) at Marriott's Ko Olina into 2BR ocean view units, using a low-value trader.

Love Ko Olina - you can get the same right now for Sept - Oct consecutive weeks (4 ?) in 2 br units using studios

Michael, you inspire me, I have been searching every morning prior to work and every evening when I get home to see if I can upgrade what I traded into in Hawaii for next year...

A last-minute confirmation (about 22 days out) into a 1BR at Disney's Villas at Wilderness Lodge for 13 TPU, checking in 8/2. Just sitting there in inventory at the end of the usual RCI Weekend outage.

Got a 2 bedroom at Lagoon Tower HHV for next May.
Got a 2 bedroom Hyatt in Key West for week before Christmas.

Wow nice catch

Got a 2 bedroom at Lagoon Tower HHV for next May.

We'll be there just a little bit later. We have a 2-week trip planned, first in a 3BR Penthouse at Lagoon Tower at the end of June, then to the Big Island for a 2BR in Kings Land first week of July. The penthouse was pricey in terms of TPU (low-mid 50s, IIRC) but that's okay.

I was just wandering around in the II inventory and saw a May 6, 2017 week in Sanibel Island at the Lighthouse Resort and Club so I grabbed it. We've never been to Sanibel or Captiva and it's on my list of places I'd like to go. I'm sure this isn't the most glamorous resort but it looks reasonably nice and the two bedroom units are over 2000 SF. Sounds good to me!

 

[silentg]

Polly, We just visited friends at Casa YBel in Sanibel. Our first time there too. I remember seeing Lighthouse Resort, no worries, all of Sanibel is beautiful! That sounds like a good trade to me!

WOW! That is so cool!!!!!!!! Thanks! I wonder if I grabbed it before it could match to an ongoing search, or whether few people have ongoing searches for mid 2017.

Will we be assigned the unit you deposited? Or a random unit determined at check in?

I saw it 3 days ago http://tugbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=230086
I saw it this morning too but I didn't report it because I though that it was still the same unit.

Interesting. I don't think I saw it, and the post headline didn't say where the resort was located. Not being familiar with the resort's name, I wouldn't guess it was on Sanibel.

Lighthouse Resort

Polly, you will be assigned in unit 101. No need to use the elevator. They have a nice pool and whirlpool. Unit is a monster in size! Cross the street to go to the beach. I traded thru II and stayed at Shell Island which is very nice, but I had to make a dozen trips carrying my stuff up to second floor as they have no elevators. The best thing. about May is the weather, IMHO. Its not super hot like it is now. Be sure to have seafood at Grandma Dot's. Yummy! Have fun! Mel

 

[Panina]

Polly, congrats grabbing that week In Sanibel . Never understand how II works. I actually had a request in for that resort, that timeframe. My week I trade gets me Marriotts and Captiva in the past but I guess not sanibel. II probably didn't think my week was high enough to get the trade and put it in the open inventory. The area is lovely, my favorite area to visit. I call it the American carribean.

I had 30,000 Wyndham points on deposit with RCI that I was just going to let expire. Thanks to a sighting on TUG I was able to use them for a week in Chicago at the Hotel Blake! I don't know anything about the place but it looks nice on line and the price was right

I also got an exchange for a Feb ski week into a 1 bedroom at my husband's favorite resort of all time- (I love it too) Grande Lodge at Peak 7.

A 1bdr Jul week at kings creek exchanged for a July 2bdr at presidential villas at plantation resort surfside beach sc. :whoopie:
A 1bdr Aug week at kings creek exchanged for an Aug 2bdr at Myrtle beach HGVC :whoopie:

[Panina]

Just got Tortuga 2 br, Sanibal Island, August 26 to sept 2, 2016 with a pending request using Cold Springs, NH same week/year. It only took a few weeks.

 

[thickey]

I had a Branson Willow Ridge studio (July 4th week) that I traded for Branson Welk Timber Ridge 1BR (early June). I called to check for east coast, and was able to re-trade it to HHI Marriott Grande Ocean 2BR for mid-June. The agent said he had never seen that before. I paid two exchange fees, but it was well worth it to me!
