What are my chances of getting Caribbean exchange with II for week 51 or 52? I have an on going request with So.California week. I have listed resorts In St. Maarten, Bahamas, Jamaica, Belize, and also Costa Rica.

Thanks.

51 and 52 are extremely hard exchanges to get. There is far more demand than supply, and there may be others ahead of you who put in their request sooner and/or have stronger traders. I'd make a cancelable back-up Resv. How strong is your trader?

Thanks Denise...

Using prime summer week...riviera oaks, Ramona ca

I was hoping at least St.Maarten...divi or Simpson Bay/aka Pelican...usually an easy trade for Simpson Bay

Oh another question..my Riviera Oaks(higher quality) normally won't show Resort at Simpson Bay..lower quality...but since I have a request in..would it match if available?

Thanks again.

We go away each year week 51. We have always gotten something; last year we got a 2 BR ocean front at the Grand Caymanian, the year before we got the Dominican Republic and other times we got Aruba. This year, we got Sands of Kahana in Maui; not the Caribbean, but a warm island!

For what it's worth, put your request in early, use the biggest unit you have with the best possible week, be patient and put in for lots of resorts. We have a list of all the gold seal II resorts and request them all.
