Traded Sheraton Broadway Plantation 1br for Hilton Hawaiian Village Kalia Tower 1br.
 
Traded Marriott Ocean Watch June week for Marriott Waiohai May week, 2011. Also, got Paradise Village Beach Resort and Spa in Puerto Vallarta in December with an AC.
 
Ocean Blvd, 3 bed, June 2011

Just traded a 28K generic getting ready to expire for a 3 bedroom Ocean Blvd, Tower 4 for the last week in June 2011. Total cost of points and exchange fee ........ $315.

My husband says were not going, but with 11 siblings and tons of adult nieces and nephews, I grabbed it anyways. Figured if I couldn't talk him into, for $315, anyone in my family would take it.

How can you trade a studio for a 2-bedroom. When I entered my 2 bedroom exchange (which sleeps 8), I couldn't enter 8 people, and had to change it to 6. And, I couldn't enter a 3 bedroom. :shrug:

You have to enter the max occupants for the unit you own/deposited. Does that help? I own a 1 bdr, so I can only search for < or = 4 occupants.
 
We traded our studio at Mountainside Resort at Stowe (week 51) for a one-bedroom at Island Park Village Resort near the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park the end of May, beginning of June!

Very excited now, and I have a lot of planning to do!!
 
My first trade on II and now I'm hooked!

Traded my May studio in Whistler for a 2 bedroom Four Seasons Scottsdale Residence Club Troon North in Feb. Perfect time for golf as it's -22 Celsius in Calgary (-7.6 Fahrenheit)

I felt so happy with the trade/experience that I wanted to support TUG and bought a membership. lol
 
Just received confirmation from on-going request in II using 2BR Sheraton Vistana Resort. Traded into Royal Caribbean in Cancun 2BR for our 20th anniversary June 2012 :cheer:
 
Orange Lake Follow Up

I just traded a one-bedroom Woodstone at Massanutten August week for a 3-bedroom at Lake Orange Resort in early January through RCI Weeks.

Just got back from Orange Lake. Had a wonderful time. Best timeshare that I've ever stayed. Quality furnishings, lot's of space, nice resort, friendly staff, and good location.

I traded prior to the Nov. 15 new transparent system. However, my RCI History shows that I traded my 18 TP August week at Woodstone for this 16 TP unit. It's off season, but well worth 16 TPs.

Had I traded under the new system, I would have received 2 TPs in change.
 
Woke up this morning to a confirmation for a 3/18/2011 check-in at the Marriott's Newport Coast Villas (2 Bdrm). This is a 4,000 Worldmark credit Flexchange, so no complaints here. Any suggestions on restaurants, things to do, etc., would be appreciated.
 
I did the exchange over the phone, I just asked what's available. You can't place an ongoing request with a studio for two bedroom, unless the resort only has two bedroom units as the smallest unit size.

Traded the second one bedroom Sheraton Desert Oasis for a one bedroom at Marriott Beachplace Towers also with II April 24 - May 1 2011.
