E-Plus questions

[tschwa2]

Why are there no exchange fees in this example? I just had an exchange that I cancelled, and got a replacement week. I placed an exchange search and it charged me an exchange fee.

are you an enrolled owner and did you have any non Marriott/westin/sheraton on your requests?

Not enrolled. Recent week owner via resale purchased in 2022. Initially I only had MVC properties on the search and not only was there a fee, but it was not discounted. So, I added non MVC's to the list.

EDIT: but my exchange was off a replacement deposit after cancelling an exchange, so it appears I lost the discount.

It isn't that there are no exchange fees. I am questioning the very thing you are experiencing. I am trying to find out if an owner with a Marriott corp II account gets charged exchange fees when trying to do an Marriott to Marriott/Vistana exchange with a cancellation replacement.

I think this works on EPlus from a regular deposit, but for @Dean, his was from a cancelled exchange where he has a cancellation replacement deposit. I didn't think you could cancel that a second time and get another cancellation replacement.

If I recall correctly it was retraded, not cancelled, but within 60 days.

So it is out there as a current trade? Or it is showing up as a deposit? If it is a trade that you can retrade, you can do that but it would only allow you to retrade through the original deposit expiration. If you do retrade though, you can add EPlus to it and it will extend the expiration but will still be 59 day restricted.

That's what I was understanding. Thank to you and all others for the info. It's just not something I've had a reason to use or pay much attention to until now.

ETA: I've been continually retrading it M to M to extend it. I am still looking at options for exchanges and the one I'm looking at now is within 60 days to I'm hoping it'll be a moot point though it would mean holding account points potentially if I replace part of my current reservation with an exchange.

Found this discussion years after the fact, but am hoping to get some current information...If I have Eplus on a reservation that is currently in the Flex change restricted time frame, can I trade into the end of that time frame (October 1 reservation, can only trade through the end of November) to further my time Frame another 2 months? Is there a way to extend it even further? We probably can't use this week until mid to late Spring.

For eplus flexchange you can only exchange out 60 days past the current check in date (as opposed to regular flexchange which is 60 days ahead from ”today” up until the expiration date).
So for eplus flexchange you can only extend about 6 months using all 3 eplus even though the eplus expiry says 1 year.

But as I said in my previous post you can get yourself out of flexchange buy doing all 3 eplus retrades in succession and then calling to cancel and request a replacement when you are more than 60 days from the last check in.
To maximize your extension you would want to push all 3 eplus out to the max 60 days and then cancel at just more than 60 days before that last check in. You would extend about a year and 4 months and have an unrestricted replacement week that you can request with. Mark at II confirmed that this works.

How many retrades do you have left? You can retrade each time for up to 59 days beyond the current checkin date of the exchange you have on hand. So right now you can retrade through end of November. Your next retrade could be through end of January and if you still have the third available it could go through end of March. That is about the limit unless you cancel and take a cancellation replacement deposit. Which would be good for one year from the date you cancel. If you cancel it while it is outside of 59 days, then the cancellation replacement deposit shouldn't have any flexchange restriction, but you will have to pay a new exchange fee.

Thank you for your response! This is what I thought, but I'm not sure what you mean on the 'cancellation replacement deposit'.There is an option to extend the time of the week up to a year. Would that be best to use after I've exhausted all my EPlus trades. Would I then have use of this week a full year after the third eplus trade? It is a push for us to use this week before the end of March (yes I do have 3 retrades). Or, If I extend the trade before I'm inside the 60 days would I then have the full time specified in eplus to use the week?

I just saw your previous post Pamplemousse! That explains everything Im asking. Sorry for the redundancy. I appreciate both of your responses - dioxide45. Both were very helpful!
