    Ongoing Saga w/ a II Exchange

    Seriously I never thought it would be difficult to exchange a week into II. After calls to Vistana(2hrs), it was confirmed that my week was transferred Nov 1st. Well on Nov 9th, I booked an exchange. Easy, right. NOOOOO!!!. I received an email from Vistana telling me the week is not...

    When you book a resort from an exchange company do you view the resorts website?

    Curious, mostly because I do this for a living, and so many of the resort websites are outdated ...

    SFX Exchange Company

    On TUG, most people seem to trade with II and RCI. What do Tuggers think of SFX? Marriott trades with both II and SFX. What is trading power like with SFX? Which one would Tuggers recommend?

    Banking our Paniolo Greens Week question

    We currently belong to RCI - but we are considering banking our week elsewhere this time. We usually cannot get another week in Hawaii for the TPUs RCI offers us - even for our xmas week! I don't usually do the ongoing search. That is probably the problem. But it irritates me that everything...

    Exchange Membership

    My membership to both RCI and Interval have expired - so I need to rejoin one of them. I own at the Royal Sands in Cancun and the Lawrence Welk Resort in San Diego. Any thoughts on which would be a better choice? Are there any promos going on now?

    SFX Questions

    I've been trying to search the forums to get info about SFX, but I can't seem to locate anything and when I do a search, I get a message something like "Your seach has too few characters, too many characters, ..." I think I've seen some threads, but just can't seem to locate them now. I, like...
