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

Sorry to ask so many questions but I do not understand the significance of 14 days. So 14 days is last day to retrade ePlus but it will be subject to the 59 day flexchange rule?

Correct. You can not do Eplus retrades inside 14 days. It will switch to a regular retrade once you get inside 14 days. Any time you get to less than 59 days or less from checkin, any retrade will be restricted. Though regular retrades work differently than Eplus retrades.

Eplus retrade can retrade for 59 days past the current checkin date.
Regular retrade can only retrade for 59 days from the current date.

Thank you. @dioxide45 @jackio @Pamplemousse

I could not find much 3-bedroom for December 2025 or January or February 2026 now. Maybe it is because the promotion was on for a few days now.

Best,

Perhaps. But even if you can get a 2BR, it will save you a bunch of money on retrades after the promotion has ended.
 
Either the offer is over or it’s not active for my non-Marriott account. I looked at trading up fro a 1 bedroom to a 2 bedroom and the $79 fee was applied.

Some have reported that it is for paid accounts - but your personal account must be paid for by you?
I see it in my personal account

today is the last day

So I tried to go through the promo link. It showed a property that I could trade with crossed out upgrade fee. Went all the way through including adding II dues for next year and when I got to the final page it is charging for the upgrade. What!?!

update: found the promo button to apply later in process. See posting below.

It’s most definately a paid account. I renewed it a few months back to cover a deposit I wanted to make.
 
I found it. I had to go under the deals tab instead of just attempting to book and exchange. This makes me wonder if the inventory is a little different than just looking the regular way?
 
Thanks @dioxide45 and @Hindsite for walking me through this. The service you provide in assisting Tuggers is much appreciated.

SDO is my new trader so curious to to see what I get in II.

I was able to use my 2025 1 bdrm week to get a 3 bdrm Marbella and added ePlus. Not a great date but hoping I can get better dates later. If I ePlus re-trade for a 2 bdrm on a better date and then ePlus retrade for a 3 bdrm later, would I be charged an upgrade fee again for going back to a 3 bdrm?

No, since you "paid" the upgrade fee to a 3BR, you can retrade anytime into any unit side through a 3BR for no additional upgrade fee.

Based on trading power of original underlying week, of course.

I have a couple of ongoing searches for hard-to-get exchanges, 3 bedrooms, prime ski season, and I have some weeks that just will not pull those 3 bedrooms.
 
Thanks for the post. I made future trades for all my enrolled MVC weeks. Saved $59 for the 1br and $118 for the studios. Now, I just have to be diligent and remember to move these weeks out every 6 months or so.

Thanks to OP for saving me thousands with this poat! Wish I deposited my 2026 weeks to take advantage of this.
