I just confirmed an exchange into an MKO studio with a Dec 28 check-in date, so likely a cancellation that got thrown back at the 60 day mark. Exchanged using my MHB studio that is not enrolled. Despite being one day later than I need to check in, I do need to take it as hotels are silly expensive during the holiday period. Prior to the new e-plus rules I always added it, but I'm trying to find the value in this instance. Although I need to keep searching for a Dec 27 check in, and it would be great to find a 1br upgrade, I have to imagine the odds are fairly slim of either of those things popping up. Coupled with that, I could end up paying for e-plus and then having to pay an additional full exchange fee anyways if what I want pops up within 14 days of check-in.

My odds assessment is that I'm probably better off rolling the dice without e-plus and eating a full exchange fee if something pops up, but I'm interested to hear what the seasoned e-plus gamblers here think?

You didn't state what you used to trade into MKO? Was it a Marriott week, is it enrolled?

You can always pay a full exchange fee to retrade up till the day prior to checkin.
