yea im not sure how id even design something that could accommodate a month long stay to trade with another month long stay etc. (on top of the odds of that happening)

suppose you could simply just post all the weeks you have available and see what someone would offer.

I like the new change where you can search different ad in one place. Where can I see post date? It would be helpful to see when the ad was posted.
this is actually a great idea, not sure how we overlooked that (or maybe it was in originally, and is now missing)...ill be sure to get it back added.

So, one of the things I'm still a little confused about here might just be the systems interaction. So if I was going to use this, having HGVC and Wyndham, I'd say ... what? My home resort? A set of points I can use inside the system with a GC? Do I pre-book a week and then (not sure if this is possible) edit it or cancel it if not exchanged?

Thanks.

well it all sounds great to me so I am going to do it....I'll put some weeks in first chance I get....I am writing reviews for timeshares so once finished I'll check my list and put some in and see what happens...I have a lot of weeks, so this sounds good......

Brian, thanks for all your hard work.....and I bet this beats the heck out of RCI & other exchange companies.....You sure have a great site...I am really honoured to be a member of timeshare exit companies!!
Am I understanding the ADMINs correctly, that I should post all my weeks in the Direct Exchange area, even ones I know I'll be using?

no, that wouldnt benefit anyone if you are using the week...you couldnt trade someone if you are already using it.

I suggested anyone offering weeks for RENT should also list them as exchanges on top of weeks they own/have but may not use that year...or at the very least would consider trading to go somewhere else if the offer presented itself!

Apologies in advance but I am hoping to get a better understanding of how placing an add would work - I have a points membership would like to direct trade my points into a specific resort within a different points system. It’s for a wedding so the week is important.

no apology necessary!

if you are looking for a specific week at a specific location, you would want to choose that vs looking to trade for points.
