    E-Plus Questions

    Hi All, I am a bit confused about E-Plus and have a few questions about the program. Last winter, I deposited my 2BR Lakeside Terrace in Beaver Creek unit with a request for a 2BR winter week in Breckenridge, CO or (preferably) Park City, UT. I purchased E-Plus for that deposit. In July, I...

    Trade in or SO???

    We want to go to Maui or Kauai off years when we are not going to BI. Our children are young so being right on the beach isn’t a focus of ours. My question is: use SO or trade in via II? Off season is perfect for us at this point.
