Hi all,
We are thinking of going to Spain in March (or less likely April) 2019 with the vague idea of a cycling vacation. Probably Mallorca. Wouldn't mind a 3BR unit, so that we can have a group to ride together.
I have a Barony Beach 2BR on deposit and I know this will be a pretty easy trade with a Marriott unit.
However, my Hyatt 2BR unit would trade into a 3BR non-Hyatt property (because Hyatt is points based for II trading and 2BR units are given enough points to book 3BRs). The drawback to Hyatt is that you can't book in II more than 12 months out.
So what do you all think about my chances of getting a March 2019 Spain 3BR unit through II 12 months out with a non-Marriott property? It would be a little less expensive for me to trade into a 3BR using the Hyatt because I'd just pay the exchange fee and no upgrade fee.
Right now, there is a Marriott Tahoe week available that would suit a planned trip I have, so I could use my deposit for that.
I am a Marriott newby, hopefully I did not leave out any vital info.
(PS My Marriott week is EOY odd, so I won't have another week to deposit until 2019 if I use my current week to get the Tahoe trade. I have multiple exchange requests in through the Hyatt system for the Hyatts at Northstar and Incline Village, but I don't get more Hyatt points until late May, so I can't book through Hyatt right now.)
