Holding out for something better?

[Lydlady]

I just made a trade through II. I'm in the 24-hour cancellation period. Seems like a pretty decent trade - 1 bedroom for a 2 bedroom in Williamsburg for the exact dates I wanted. I don't want to cancel. But I'm wondering if something better might come up during FlexChange. What strategy would you use, if any? Would you purchase "travel insurance" in case you want to cancel for something possibly better later on? I know I should be and am thankful for the trade but just in case...

A two-bedroom the dates you want to go? What's better?

I don't think travel insurance will cover a cancellation for a better resort. Usually the reason for the cancellation must be the death of a family member or an illness. I could be very wrong. Make sure you check with the company issuing the insurance.

Yep, good points here. I thought I had read other threads about people cancelling for something better, but those were probably more like upgrades where they already had reservations. I read reviews on this TS and the place sounds okay. It should be just fine.
