So to kick off 2025, i want to see just how many owner to owner trades we can facilitate in a year...so to start im going to offer a 6month membership extension for anyone who posts a direct exchange listing in the TUG marketplace!

no catch, no hidden agenda, just post a VALID direct exchange listing for a week you have coming up in the future and ill give you a free membership extension!

Direct Owner Exchanges are posted the same way you post resale/rental listings in the TUG marketplace! https://tug2.com/timesharemarketplace

1. they do not require an ad credit to post
2. please be sure to include what you might be looking for on trade!
3. listing must be for an upcoming usage date!
4. suppose you should be able to post an rci/ii interval you have reserved as there is no money changing hands on these...so it could be an option for owners who have exchanges they cant use or rent!
5. you are not obligated to exchange your timeshare just by posting a listing! if you wish to use it, rent it, rebook/whatever...just posting a direct exchange listing does not prohibit you from doing any of that as its still your week! this is just providing an opportunity for a free trade with another tug member!

how to view all current Direct Exchange Offerings!

I just posted one to get things started. I have done two direct exchanges previously through TUG and both were great experiences.
