I did it! We bought a small 1 BR Platinum week at WKV resale (long story why it's not something bigger) and thought the 1st use year was 09. Turns out was 08 and the MFs were already paid. So I put it into II, not really caring about what week got deposited, since it was "free". We got a pretty good late spring 08 week at Kierland deposited (a week that had already passed. How they do that I'm not sure. But that's another topic.).
I offered it to my sister to use for a vacation. Today it traded for a 2BR at Marriott's resort in Panama City, FL for Easter week 09! Her dates and locations were pretty constrained since she's a college teacher in South Carolina who teaches summer school, so I'm pretty exited. Something was also available that week in St Thomas, but the flights just didn't work. While we were waiting on the exchange I saw a lot of Marriott Malaga's and other interesting properties with it.
What I learned: Even a decent week, in the past, can be a good trader. I might even try this again sometime!
