Best method to maximize trading power?

[DaveNV]

Here's one for those of you with more experience than me: Is it better to reserve the best possible week at a resort, then manually deposit it with an exchange company, or let the resort bulk spacebank your week for you? Which gives the best possible trading power?

Logic says reserving the best week yourself would be better, but this is timesharing - logic doesn't always apply

By far, the best approach is to reserve the very best week you can and deposit it.

Some resorts won't allow you to do that and won't confirm to the exchange company that you have the rights to your reserved week if you try to circumvent resort policy.

Others (e.g., Marriott) will allow you to reserve and deposit the week of your choice, but will deposit a week of Marriott's choice (likely a less powerful trader) if you select the option (online with Marriott or on the phone with Marriott) to deposit your week without reserving a week.
