DC points can kiss my rear....
I just got my trade 11 months out..
1 Bdrm Gold Surf Club deposited..
2 Bdrm Plat Surf Club Granted...
I'll be there all week , enjoy the veal, be sure to tip your waitress...
How can you put in an on-going request for a larger unit (2 bedroom) when the resort has the same size unit you deposited (i.e. 1 bedroom)?
Good luck to you. I have to say, though, that there seems to be a pretty strong theme running through TUG that somehow it is not only fair but a tuggers absolute right to trade up from a studio or a 1 bed silver or gold to a 2 or 3 bed platinum. Personally, I think that if DC can introduce more balance to trades then I'm all for it.
Amen. Upgrade fees can solve that problem. I believe the independents do it.
By saying that, your killing the "dream" of going anywhere you want that the salesman says..
example
I buy a Plat 1 Bdrm at Maui Ocean Club but I want to go to Hilton Head.. UH OH!!! HHI only has 2BDRM's.. Should I pay an upgrade fee? Am I less of a marriott owner? Am I not entitled to my dream of a vacation at any Marriott TS resort?
Moving up in the TS world is a game, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. This time I won.. Next time I may lose...

I don't want to play a game - I want a fair deal. With DC I can exchange into any Marriott resort on equitable terms.

Less the skim of course.

<cough>skim<cough> if equitable is getting 6 or even 5 days of vacation of what once was a 7 day. Fair enough
You are no less of a Marriott owner because you own a one bedroom and want a 2 bedroom. By all means, I wouldn't wanna kill the dream, my friend. I just wouldn't mind if that dream became a weeeee bit more expensive...
I don't have a problem with the skim. I see it as the cost of having flexibility to book in other than 7 day units and to chose any day check in. I can after all just use my week as usual with no skim involved.
Am I missing something here? Why would you want someone who has decided againt joining or utilizing the points program to pay more for a legitimate trade through II?

You sort of prove my original point. I think some tuggers have a tendency to expect something for nothing.
Totally agree. Sometimes I think that the folks that stay glued to the computer all day in the hope of trading their low season lockout for a high season 3bdrm would be better off getting a 2nd job at minimum wage and just using the money to rent what they want.
