I decided today to pay for the 3 year II membership and do an exchange now for my leftover 2020 points. I'm going to reserve something for 2021 or 2022, purchase eplus, and then watch for a decent trade in II to use up my 2020 points instead of having the use of the points for a 10 month out exchange in Diamond. Chose this path because I always plan in advance, so the 10 month out usage that Diamond is offering isn't worth it for me. Won't know if the strategy has worked until I make a reservation for 2021 or 2022 that I actually want... But I figure the $99 membership fee for 3 years, the $69 eplus charge and the $200ish exchange fee will (hopefully) be worth having the flexibility. I usually travel to Mexico over winter, so hoping to be able to use the exchange for that. I believe you can use the eplus for up to a year after the date of the exchange travel - but it may only for a year after the date of the first exchange. I'll have to check that part out...
Good luck to all with the new exchange system for Diamond Club points. If anyone knows the eplus rules, would love to know! I'll post if I find out before I see anything here.
