On June 9th 2022 , I reserved June 10th, 17th and 24th in 2023. I did so using 2 deeded weeks of which one was a lockoff. This combination gave ne the highest TDI for my 1 bedroom and 2 MGC that I use for trading while giving me the MGO week I was looking for. It is still unclear to me if this was allowed but the most important fact isn't if this was allowed or not. The most important fact is the system did not prevent the CS rep from doing it. So even if it isn't allowed, if you get a nice CSR and you are nice in how you deal with them, it can be done.

I have found easter week 1br at MGC better than the "higer" TDI June weeks. My 1br Easter week saw more than the higher TDI early summer week IME. Have you seen otherwise? I dont own a 3br just a couple 2br units so only the 1br can be compared.

In 2021, I reserved Easter week for my MGC. I had a third week that I used for the 13 month window for my MGO to get the MGO week I wanted. I got rid of the third week last year so I had to use my MGC to get the MGO week I want. Week 24 (June 17) in Vegas has the same TDI as Easter Week so using this gave me the 13 month window for MGO.
