We are considering placing a request first search in interval for our 2017
Week, as we'd like to do HGVC if the Marriott doesn't come through.

It looks like placing a request first shortens your deposit life (in this case, we would have to travel by 6/17/17). Am I understanding this correctly?

Second question- How does Eplus affect this? If we received our thanksgiving request, it will be a mute point, but I'm just wondering what would happen if we spotted a better trade...

Request first only searches up to the date of check-in (is your 2017 check-in 6/17/17?). After you deposit, an on-going search will search for the entire life of the deposit (+- 2years). You don't have 'deposit life' until after you deposit.

E-plus: purchase at time of search or up to 5 days after confirmation (but prior to original resort confirmation date). You can trade up to 3 times after confirmation; all manual trades--no ongoing searches. So, if you place a search (OGS or RF) and find a 'suitable' trade, you can confirm, buy E-plus, and then still re-trade up to 3 times (down to 24 hours prior to check-in).

Answer your question?
