I've always added e-plus so I don't know what a regular retrade looks like. Do you have something like e-plus or have to call?

Once your vacation is confirmed by II, you have 14 days to add e-plus (if you didn't add it already). See rule below.
I'm assuming whenever e-Plus is no longer an option, the retrade option will appear.
7. (a) For Members who wish to change their Host Accommodations
subsequent to receiving a Confirmation, but without canceling
their Confirmation, E-Plus is available to allow Individual
Members to “retrade” their original Confirmation, up to a total of
three (3) times, upon the payment of an additional fee. The use
of E-Plus may be purchased at any time, commencing at the
time an exchange request is initially placed and continuing up
to 14 days following the issuance of a Confirmation, so long
as the purchase is prior to the first date of occupancy of the
Host Accommodations and the Host Resort is in good standing
with II E-Plus may be used to secure up to three (3) retrades
of the Member’s Host Accommodations and/or vacation
periods at any time, up to 12 months after the first date of
occupancy of the Host Accommodations associated with
the original Confirmation (the “E-Plus Usage Window”) Once
established, the E-Plus Usage Window does not change upon
any subsequent retrade.
Below is what I shared last year in the WorldMark (WM) forum (
link)
On 7/22/24, the Start Retrade option was available for my 8/16/24 check-in (see 1st screen capture below).
Instead of using the Start Retrade option, I called and requested a cancellation which provided me with a replacement week good for a year (see 2nd screen capture).
Note: I don't use e-Plus or Retrade with WM since these trigger notifications to WM as new requests (instead of modifications to existing) which becomes a nightmare to resolve.
