Impossible Marriot trade on II?

I want to put in a request for a couple of weeks that don't show as available, but I'm sure Marriott has inventory if I place a request. The trouble is, I don't have an acceptable third option as required for requests. I despise II and want to game the system by making my third request something impossible from Marriott, so I can still pay the Marriott exchange fee. Any ideas of any US Marriott weeks that are impossible to get?

Why do you need to put a Marriott as the third option? Just select Four Seasons Aviara as the third option.

An all Marriott request is an "internal trade" and is $30 cheaper. This is why I despise II. They always charge you for the most expensive option in the request and have always confirmed me for the least expensive option. No refunds for the difference. Thirty bucks is no big deal, but I'm not going to give them an extra penny.

Ok I see. How about Newport Coast Villas over July 4th weekend. You ain't getting that no way, at least that would be what I would gather from my slumming in the Marriott forum here on Tug the last few months,

Never had a problem requesting one specific Marriott resort and a specific check in date. Think this may require a phone call, but I have the feeling that even on line I never had to do the three resorts or three date things with a Marriott to Marriott request.
