How difficult would it be to accomplish these Interval Marriott Trades at this late date.

I need (3) Two bedrooms at the Marriott Aruba Surf club or
Marriott Aruba ocean Club-May 28 or May 29

I have (3) one bedroom Marriott Grande Cheateus Platinium season weeks
that are deposited at Interval already to try get the (3) Two bedrooms
at the Marriott Aruba Surf Club or Marriott Ocean Club
May 28 or May 39


I think I can rent a 3 bedroom at the Marriott Aruba Surf Club
should I rent this for $3,500 and then I would need only (1) Two bedroom
at the Marriott Aruba Surf Club using only (1) of my Marriott Grande Cheateu
(1) Bedroom Platinium season Interval Deposits.

If anyone has any better idea, thank you in advance!

Looking at the sightings forum, there haven't been any bulks that included 2BR units for those dates. I would say your chances are slim at booking THREE units for one specific weekend. Also given that the week is a holiday week in the US. If you are hoping that you can get a 2BR with a 1BR, it means you would have to rely on instant exchange, which are the leftovers after all OGS are matched over night.

If you don't mind having different checkin dates on all three units, you might get lucky, but I think you will be hard pressed to pull this off this late in the game.

Marriott Aruba Surf Club 2 & 3BRs
Good chance that last minute you could get an upgrade from one of the studios, so if you're not a DC member purchase the $49 retrade option from II. If you have to have the same arrival date, I'd try using the 1 BR for 1BR as well as studio for studio. That way, if there is a 2 BR locked off and deposited as a 1 BR and a studio for May 28th, you're more likely to get 2 matches.

Just fyi- the lock-off of the 3BR is close to double the size of a regular lock-off- so great for a family with kids. If it's all couples that's one thing, but if families that may help you out a bit to need one less unit.

This year, it appears that there are few deposits for that weekend. I have been trying to re-trade my lockoff with a 5/27 date for a 1bdrm unit and I have had no luck. The Soul Beach Festival is in Aruba that weekend and the Surf Club is a prime resort to stay at due to the day beach parties being located at Moombas.

Good luck!!
