II Exchange Today and get free unit size upgrade. 5 Days left?

[GrayFal]

Seems to be running for 5 more days?
Might be a good time to do a far out exchange to take advantage of no Upgrade fee
I was able to go from a studio to 2BR a with no fee Using an unenrolled Marriott Studio.

This can also be a good deal as just a placeholder to later retrade. Though it works best with enrolled Marriott weeks with $0 exchange fees. It also works well with Eplus as you can later retrade into a unit the same size as what you originally traded into for no extra cost. If we had some studio and 1BR deposits, we would be doing this but we upgraded those all the last time they did the $0 upgrades.

Really is a great promo. Especially with studio units.

Thanks for posting this! I did this last time I saw the offer, and traded a studio for a 2 BR with no extra fee, and then purchased e-plus.
Then I re-traded for a 3BR in Williamsburg for this July for $59 more. Saved a lot!

Great opportunity. Thanks for sharing.

So if I deposit tomorrow (traveling today)do u think I can execute in time and add ePlus?

If I find a trade way out, can I E-Trade it for a week that is sooner than the orig. trade date?

Can I also downgrade size?

does it still get Vistana preference if ePlus trade?

Does 2025 or 2026 deposit pose any limitations?

TIA I am new to II trading. What would you do w

It may depend on what system you are deposirting, but usually you can deposit and exchange right away for something. If the deposit isn't confirmed by the developer, they just cancel everything.

You can certainly trade and add Eplus. You can then retrade for anything between the current date and one year after the checkin date of your initial exchnage. Depositing 2025 or 2026 doesn't make much of a difference other than initial deposit expiration, but as soon as you add Eplus, that kinda goes away in favor of the Eplus expiration which is one year past checkin.

I think it takes Vistana a couple days to complete the deposit, so you should have time. Though I have no actual experience with it myself. You could also try doing an instant exchange on the II website but that can be messy if you own more than one SDO unit.

Am I the only one who cringes when they see this promo? As a family of 5, we need 2+ bedroom units and their availability seems to be fewer and farther between lately. Instead of encouraging folks to upgrade to a larger unit, I wish II would offer an incentive encouraging folks to deposit larger units. I know that won't happen because II gets double the fee when folks split their unit, but a girl can dream. And, I'm not judging those that take advantage of the upgrade. I get it. We all try to leverage our trades to get the best value.

I remember a time when there were no upgrade fees. I could trade a small 1 bedroom for a 2 bedroom easily. It wasn't that long ago. How nice to have this back for a short time, but I miss the old days.
