I almost always grab exchanges online rather than use an ongoing search. I imagine I am an exception to the rule. Do you usually use an OGS? If so how far ahead do you start your search and how long does it usually take to get a confirmation?
When I exchange with II, I typically do instant exchanges because I am focused on uptrading my 1br deposits for 2brs.
Maybe you are aware of it, but you can get 2br units with 1br deposits at II by doing ongoing searches at resorts that do not have 1brs.
Over the last ten years, I have never been successful with an on going search.

SFX, I do both ongoing and inventory checking, but there is hardly any online inventory. When I do an ongoing search, the ones a year out match and the ones within a couple months normally don't match.

Since you can do an OGS and search online, there is really no reason not to put in an OGS.
