I have to trade this years week however I want to travel 2021-2022. I see that I can trade into 2 bdrm and then purchase Etrade. Can I setup an OGS as well instead or will this cause me to lose my points?


First time trading HRC

You can move your CUP points to EEE. That way you extend the life of those points by two years, but the move is irreversible. Once points are in EEE, they can only be used for II exchanges.

Another option is to start an OGS without moving points to EEE. Your points will remain in CUP until there is a match, or until your CUP points expire, whatever comes first. This way you keep your options open since points remain in CUP, but their life before expiration is short.

@echino Thanks. Looks like I will need to move them now soon since it’s week 11.

since one request will not use all my points, will O need to pay for 2 separate trades as well as E trade?

If it's week 11, then it's too late to move CUP point to EEE. The deadline is 4 months before your deeded week.

Your only option is to use your CUP points to exchange. You can start an OGS, and when there is a match, your CUP points will be used to confirm an exchange. If OGS does not match before CUP points expire, then a couple of days before the deadline just go ahead and manually confirm an exchange to any available week in II and then purchase an ePlus.

Just curious what is ETRADE ?

Also, I used some CUP points in HRC and have leftover points that (1) are not enough to get into other HRC units and short by about 20 points to get a 1bdrm at II in Red Time.

My question is can I buy 20 XTRA Points to use in II? If not, I guess my leftover CUP points go into II and I have two years to use if I can accumulate fast enough within II in the next two years or else I lose them. Correct?

Thanks Much

In II, you can purchase ETrade to exchange an additional 3x. That’s how you can extend your exchange
