We traded our platinum 1BR Sheraton Desert Oasis for a January Large 1BR at Harborside Resort at Atlantis in the Bahamas.

Fox4mel,
I got it thru II, if you look back a couple of messages even though I had a pending request, they put another sanibel week for 2017 in open inventory. Another tug person got it, which was good. I did call ii to just find out if I was just wishing or could get a trade into Sanibel. They explained to me the week that went into open inventory happen because they felt they would get a high value week for it being it was two years out. A Hawaii week got it in open inventory.

Tuscany Italy

Hilton Grand Vacations Club at Borgo alle Vigne in Tuscany Italy. We had a 2 bdrm & a 1-bdrm for 10 days. Took family and friends. Had an awesome time.

Samoset Resort, Rockport Maine (2 bdrm)

I was able to grab a 2 bedroom unit at Samoset Resort in Rockport Maine over the 2016 4th of July holiday (July 2 - July 9). I was able to secure that week several months ago and earlier this week was able to grab a 2 bdrm at the same resort for 2017 for the last week of June (June 25 - July 2nd). The 2016 week was 34 TPU's and the 2017 week was 33.

We were able to visit this resort two summers ago and fell in love with the area.

 

[yoboy pres]

I was able to get 2 one bedrooms in Hilton Hawaiian village in November 2014 for a lock off unit deposited from vacation village @ parkway week 23

 

[Smokatoke]

I just got a 2BD at HGVC Las Vegas (Paradise / Convention Center) for 7500 RCI points. At .007 a point thats $52.50 :whoopie:

Tack on its this weekend for NFL kickoff, Im in heaven.

 

[Lydlady]

I was excited to get a 2-bedroom Riverpointe Napa Valley for October 2016 from my Shadow Ridge studio. I've been to Riverpointe before so I'm familiar with what "two bedrooms" is.

 

[klpca]

Just exchanged my DSVII studio into Newport Coast Villas for mid September, 2016. It was just sitting there in instant inventory. NCV has been on my shortlist but I hadn't gotten around to setting up an ongoing search. This worked out great!

 

[DaveHenry]

Carpediem 1BR (just outside Rome)

I just reserved a 1BR unit at Carpediem Roma (just outside Rome) for a week in late October 2017.

 

[presley]

I just got Club Intrawest Palm Desert for January with my Shell points. It's a 2 bedroom, which is nice, but I read the one bedrooms have outside showers, which would have been fun.

Not all the 1 BRs have outdoor showers - only some of the 1BR Terrace units. Don't feel too bad - we were there in March in one of those units and it was way too cool to use the outdoor shower then, and I expect in January it could be downright chilly!

 

[twinmommy19]

My requests with II were just confirmed using two 2BR ACs from non-Marriott weeks. We used our 2 ACs for two 2BR units for week 25 2016 at MFV (Marriott Fairway Villas). Both are for June 19, 2016 check in next year. I saw these units in open inventory with my real deposits and thought, what the heck - maybe II will decide to take my money on the AC exchange and what do you know???

Lately - II has been great for us. On the other hand - RCI has been disappointing. We now have 273 TPUs and I've yet to confirm anything. Just haven't been crazy about the inventory.

 

[taterhed]

Marriott Grande Vista studio---> Florida Club'd to Beachplace Tower's spring break week studio ----> exchanged (instant) to Westin Princeville Ocean View Resort (WPOVR) studio deluxe in start of whale season (1st week in Feb).

(was offered Ko Olina studio as well; but needed Sunday check-in)

 

[Egret1986]

Got two great (hard to get) exchanges through RCI Points that were setting online.

I don't do ongoing searches. I guess I would if there was somewhere that I really "had" to go and during a certain time frame.

Neither of these places were necessarily on my radar. I check everywhere just to see what's out there and to consider the possibilities. I've always let what I find determine our travel plans and it's worked out well. I know that the mantra on TUG is that everything online are leftovers. I enjoy leftovers. Yum!

This July I saw Ram's Horn Village Resort in Estes Park for the last week of June, 2017 setting online (2BR).

Nova Scotia was not on my radar. However, I started looking into Canada resorts about six months ago. There's one timeshare resort in Nova Scotia. In September, setting online, there was a late July week for 2016 available at White Point Vacation Club. We were meant to go!

For us, these were two great scores!!!!!!! I love the hunt.

Congrats, Egret! Great catches. (I also don't do OGS for similar reasons and have found some great 'leftovers' online. Normally I watch a particular region or regions, but sometimes I see something really interesting out of my primary search criteria.)

 

[harveyhaddixfan]

I found "leftovers" at the Wyndham Panama City Beach. I booked a studio for me in May and 2 more 1BR in June for family & friends. All just sitting there for the taking last week. Checked a few other travel sites & the resort next door, also Wyndham, was over $3,000 for the weeks in June! Cost of points, exchange & guest certain was under $750 a week!

Two months ago, I found and reserved (2) 2-bedroom units for 4th of July week 2016 at Meadow Lake Resort near Glacier using RCI Points. I had been hoping for a summer week at Glacier knowing they were in short supply and finding these holiday weeks available seems like a steal!

 

[DaveHenry]

Great Catch at Meadow Lake!

Great catch! We were at Meadow Lake Resort last summer and had a great time! I hope that you have an equally enjoyable one!

 

[Fredward]

Just got a 2 br Newport Coast trade for Sept. '16 with a lockoff from Aruba Surf Club- within 2 days of placing the request! I never dreamed we could get in but thanks to the Tuggers that have posted their great trades, I decided to place the request. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

 

[DaveHenry]

Awesome! Enjoy!

That sounds great! Have a great time!

Aulani 2016

After having an ongoing search for more than 2 years, I got a match for a 2 bedroom for next summer at Aulani. I have requested 1 bedroom since there are only 3 of us but got a 2 bedroom match. I never expect it to match and definitely not a 2 bedroom. I don't plan to go back to hawaii next year since we just spent 3.5 weeks on 3 islands this year and we originally want to go back in 2017. Since this is such a difficult match, I confirm the reservation and will try to juggle going to Italy, China and hawaii next summer.
The unit code on the reservation is 289 so should be 2 dedicated bedroom oceanview.

Congrats on getting a 2BR at a DVC resort. The 2BR has not been seen for many months
