Question:

I'm trying to upsize my Hawaii exchange next month with an eplus retrade.
Looking now, I see instant exchanges on Interval for check-in today, tomorrow etc...

I'm familiar with the II statement "...until 24 hours before check-in"

What is the absolute latest time that you can Eplus retrade? Could I pick something up today or tomorrow for instance?

Thanks. (researching for end of January...)

I will be interested in hearing the answer to this as well, since I'm trying to do the same thing for my vacation next year....thanks

I have one ePlus remaining, and just searched with it with a check-in timeframe starting today, and there were plenty of exchanges that came up for today.

Exactly.

So, if I'm sitting on the patio having lunch after checking out of week 1 and waiting to check-in to location #2..... can I retrade? How about the night before?

I saw a Lagoons pop up last night for today or tomorrow and thought: "wow, that could be me! grab a better resort the day of check-in"

It is my understanding that you can based one what I've read from other people. Someone did a retrade the day of check in. I do not know if that was a glitch that would have been repaired, but it did happen in the past.

Thanks so much...that's what I want to hear. It'd be better first-hand with a date.... but good news.

Just saw your post on NCV ....I just posted Lagoons on top of it! Exactly my point

When I tried to look for etrade for another Marriot timeshare at Hilton Head this past August 8/15, the etrade button option went away on the day of checkin.

I have done a re-trade the day before check-in. But it was done less than 24 hours before check-in. I am pretty sure that there is no "Start Re-Trade" button on the day of check-in as I think I looked once.

I'll will try and test the concept this January.

Yes, I think that you can retrade into units with a check-in of today. But I don't think you can retrade into it if your interval week requires you to check-in today. i.e. you need a week that has a check-in date of tomorrow or later in order to retrade into a villa week that starts today.

I'm in the same situation. How often should I be checking? Is there a good time a day? I don't think I have the fortitude to get up at 4am. ;)

While there is activity at 4am EST, there is also (more of the same) activity during the early morning and then around 1800 EST as well.

Pretty much all day; just sporatic.

While I have never added EPlua (because I can't), for exchanges we have had in the past the "Start Re-trade" button stays available on the exchange in My History through checkout of the current exchange.

Interesting. I have an exchange that starts today. I just checked and the "Start Retrade" link has been removed. I wonder if there are nuances based on the system you belong to.

Quite possible, or they have change/fixed that since our last exchange. We aren't adding EPlus, but instead are enrolled Marriott Destinations Club owners who get free retrades through the program. We have a current exchange, but it isn't until next May. So it will be a while before we can confirm what happens in our account.

They did fix it, or at least for Eplus. You used to be able to perform a retrade while already checked in, although I'm not sure if II had any countermeasures to prevent it from actually occurring. I never did it but I know the system would have let me. These days the ability disappears the day of.

I have a check-in next Friday the 18th and it has Eplus. I will try and see exactly when the option disappears.

It never made sense that one could retrade a week after the checkin day. I suspect that was a programming error and they have likely fixed it. I suspect it would be the same if you have EPlus on the week or not. I won't be able to confirm anything on ours until next may, but I would think our experience would be the same as someone who doesn't add EPlus to a trade.
