Good afternoon.

I have a question about Request First. I have only done deposit requests in the past. Since I am not giving II my week in a Request First scenario, can I do requests with other exchange companies and give the week to whichever company comes up with a week first?

Thanks!

You can do that with Platinum Interchange. I don't know of any others that do that.

No - Even with a request first, the the exchange companies will verify the week with your resort, and the 2nd one to verify will find out that you've already done a request first with another company.

Thank you!

Ok, so what do TUGGERS think? I am trying to trade into Aruba or St. Martin for April 2013. I am trading President's Week at Marriott's Ocean Pointe. Should I just stick with II, or try an alternate Exchange company?

Thanks for your opinions.

Marriott is affiliated with II, so II gets the vast majority of Marriott deposits, and with II and Marriott, you have priority for Marriott to Marriott trades.
