A few days ago, traded Marriott Shadow Ridge March 2010 studio for 2 bedroom island view Marriott Waiohai this Thanksgiving. I had found nothing in Flexchange that morning, and checked in the afternoon for grins, but nothing, then 10 minutes later, decided to check again, and it popped up. :)

I don't know if I'd consider it a great exchange but I feel pretty darn good about it.

We exchanged a select 1 bedroom July Branson week for a 2 bedroom Premier The Ridge Tahoe July week. Seeing that available online canceled our ongoing Marriott to Marriott request (1 bedroom Vegas for 1 bedroom Lake Tahoe), which we converted into a 1 bedroom Platinum Vegas March week for a 2 bedroom Gold May Hilton Head, SC week.

Rci Exchange - $203 Cdn Fee ($190 Us$)

Traded our 2010 Week 9 - 2 Bedroom at Lago Vista of Buenaventura Lakes (Kissimmee FL) for 2010 Week 12 - 2 Bedroom at Wyndham at Fairfield Glade TN.

What a ripoff on the RCI Exchange Fees. $203 CDN or $190 US to do everything yourself on their website.

The time is soon coming to walk away from RCI - their fees are getting to the point of being outrageous.

RCI Instant Exchange.

I would be interested in knowing what trades other Tuggers accepted.
Are RCI Instant Exchange (last minute points) reservations to be included ?

Or just straight points & straight weeks trades ?

If Instant Exchange is covered, I'll mention our Dec. 5-12, 2009, 2BR reservation at Ron Jon Cape Caribe Resort, Cape Canavaral FL, for 7,500 points + exchange fee.

If Instant Exchange is not covered, please disregard.

Think of It as an Insider Trade

Hi Kola,

Sandcastle Cove, New Bern, NC and The Resort at Cocoa Beach are both managed by Vacation Resorts International (VRI).

RCI usually will give insider preference to owners at Resorts managed by VRI.

Traded a Marriott Easter week studio at Branson for a studio at KoOlina in October and II called me and asked me if I wanted to pay another $99 Marriott exchange fee for a 2 bedroom - yep. ;)

Was also able to trade my Marriott Easter week 1 bedroom for a 3 bedroom at Grande Vista for early March.

Ii Trade

I traded a Starwood Vistana 2 bedroom week ( March 1-8 2010) for a Four Seasons two bedroom in Carslbad, Ca ( Dec 12-19, 2009)
I hated to use my 2010 week for a 2009 week but its so hard to get Four Seasons I did it.
I had already used my 2009 and traded that for Marriott Desert Sprngs, Villa 1 also a two bedroom. I'm happy !:D
