Proof that Marriott is off the mark (Better?) about II Trades drying up

[DCBoy]

Just out of curiosity, what Beachplace week did you trade?

My ongoing search with a Plat Ocean Pointe matched to a Platinum Aruba Surf Club for next April. It was a Monday check in so I cancelled it. The next day my Gold Ocean Pointe week matched to the same week. I cancelled that one too.
Since we are still almost a year out I am holding out for a better check in day. I wish that you could specify that online with ongoing searches. My bad for not noticing that Aruba had Monday check ins. I had II change my request when I called. I was pretty excited that I received a match this far in advance. I don't think that I have ever received a trade this far in advance - and I have been trading for 10+ years!

I finally converted my 3 BR FC last week to points and got a 3 BR at MGC. This was my first point conversion. I could have made this trade easily on II but I figured out just in time that if I converted to points, I would still have over 1000 points left over for another trip. Conversely, if I want to go to Aruba, I'll try II because I won't have enough points from one unit to get the trade. I'm discovering the points work well if you are downtrading season or location.
