To exchange or not to exchange

[amanven]

I relinquished my 2020 use year to II and put in some requests as I didn't see quite what I wanted with an instant exchange. I bought the EPlus and have the Platinum level. Interval offered me a studio at WLR. I requested a one bedroom for that location and need the one bedroom size. I keep thinking about taking that studio and trying to retrade it later for a 1 bedroom later on but I don't know if that is a good plan given the restrictions retrades have of only 60 days at a time. I am looking for early November dates so can't try the retrade strategy until early June at best. Take the studio and take my chances with a retrade or sit tight with my requests and hope for the best. Opinions??

Just received a confirmation for a 1 bedroom at WLR for the November week I asked for so the above question is now moot. Glad I didn't take the studio they offered me originally!!
