Step by step instructions on how to search II with your Marriott (in pictures)

Excellent job !!! I have printed this thread and will saved it for future references.
 
Is there some way to "Bookmark" this so I don't have to search for it when it comes time for my first ever reservation in June? Thanks.
 
Another related question...

What is the procedure that generates the lists (in text format) in the "Sightings" area so they can be posted there:

EXAMPLE:

Mar 13 2009 - Mar 20 2009 0 2 4 024

Apr 25 2009 - May 02 2009 0 2 4 024

Apr 26 2009 - May 03 2009 0 2 4 024

May 01 2009 - May 08 2009 0 2 4 024

May 01 2009 - May 08 2009 2 6 8 268

May 02 2009 - May 09 2009 0 2 4 024

May 02 2009 - May 09 2009 3 8 10 3810
 
Just highlight the weeks on the search results then copy and paste.
Example, I just searched Manor Club Sequel for next spring break.



Mar 12 2010 - Mar 19 2010 0 2 4 024

Mar 12 2010 - Mar 19 2010 1 4 4 144

Mar 12 2010 - Mar 19 2010 2 6 8 268

Mar 13 2010 - Mar 20 2010 0 2 4 024

or you can clean them up a bit:

Mar 13 2010 - Mar 20 2010 1 4 4
Mar 13 2010 - Mar 20 2010 2 6 8
Mar 14 2010 - Mar 21 2010 0 2 4
Mar 14 2010 - Mar 21 2010 1 4 4
Mar 14 2010 - Mar 21 2010 2 6 8
 
Thanks to everyone who joined in on this post. Since I first posted my initial question, I have joined Interval for 2 years. It seems that I need a 2-yr. membership to accomplish this trade. I have been checking every morning for Marriott Aruba, St. Thomas, or St. Kitts using a fake reservation number and my Marriott Kauai Beach Club unit with a June 30, 2013 (pretend) reservation. I am flexible as to the date requested. So far, the pickings are slim to non-existant. Is it better to deposit first or request first, and is it better to do it on-line or to call and talk to a representative? (I realize that I cannot really do either yet until I reserve my Kauai week the end of June.)
Again, much gratitude for all the Tuggers who have been so helpful!
 
What a helpful illustration. Perhaps this thread should be a sticky.

I have traded with Interval International several times, but always by phone.

Thank you for increasing my knowledge and options.

Hi Greg,

I agree, this should be a sticky.
 
First rate explanation!! Thanks for sharing. This should be posted to the top of the forum.
 
Good job...NOW I finally see how the 18-min hold is done!

Why use a 30 June 2013 pretend reservation? Try using a pretend reservation with a check-in date of 1 April 2013 and see if the results differ. Just wondering if the II search engine acts differently since the reservation window has not opened for a 30 June 2013 checkin.
