I'm hearing all the time "search for units yourself, don't rely on exchange request." I have more than 10 different resorts or locations in a few different, ongoing exchange requests. If I wanted to look these up every day, it would probably become a full time job. Is there an easy way to look them up? What are some of your search strategies?

When searching for one particular time frame, put the codes for all the resorts in the box at the same time - not just one code at a time.
Ah! See, I didn't know you could do that. Thanks!!!

I keep a text file with a comma-separated list of resort IDs that I'm interested in. When I want to search, I just copy and paste a list from that text file and I can quickly and easily scan the availability on II.
OK, I tried to put in multiple resort IDs the way you describe, and it comes back with resort not found. I used the "search by resort name or code" but cannot get it to work. Which search option do you use?

You have to have a space after each comma. For instance, here's my (probably incomplete and not completely accurate) list of Marriott properties:
