Hi
I got an email from Trading Places, they say if you deposit a week by the end of the month, they give you two bonus weeks plus your exchange. I haven’t dealt with them before, but they gave me a membership number. Any info good or bad about them before I take their offer seriously?
Thanks !
Just curious what you're using as your exchange? Do they take Orange Lake weeks?

Using them I was able to check availability w/o a deposit. They put my selection on hold for a week while I made my deposit and it was accepted by the T/S management.
I exchanged a 1 Br. week 47 for a 2Br. Week 20 in New England.

I understand the upgrade fees, but it was worth it.

I was going to deposit my Enchanted Isle week, but not affiliated. I don’t know if they take Orange Lake.

I've used Trading Places for years for Park City ski rentals. Now they have zero inventory until mud season. I am holding off making more deposits. I think the new ownership took all the inventory.

Considering upgrading ($79) to the next level membership.
Has any one done that?
Worth it?
