I'm trying the Direct Exchange thru Quarter House

[Sugarcubesea]

I sent Nina at QH my list of locations, dates and states I would like to vacation at in 2018 and now I just wait for a match. Has anyone used QH's Direct Trade before and if so how did it go?

I gave up my week 3 at QH so I just need to determine how long I should wait to get a match?

I am a new QH owner. Can you explain how this internal exchange works? I own week 42 one bedroom.

I'm an owner at QH and had no idea that QH does a direct trade. What is the cost? We own Mardi Gras week.

Why would you want to exchange?

Why would you want to exchange?

Um, yeah. Rent it out, and then rent whatever you want directly.

It was an informative question. I like to know as much as I can about things, don't you?

Internal exchanges don't cost anything. Nina takes care of it. Obviously, the exchange requires someone making your desired week available. No one here can tell you how long to wait.

I've done exchanges. I've had some where the match never came through. I did one exchange on the spot when I showed up a week early! (Lesson: don't use any other timeshare calendar to determine when your week is. Only use QH's calendar.)

Jim, Do you find that the QH's calendar differs from Redweek? Where do I find the QH's calendar? I didn't find it on there web site.

Hi, Per the spring QH newsletter, they explain the Direct Exchange program. The Direct Trades Exchange Fee is $125 and no member fee is required. When I spoke to Nina (QH-Manager in charge of Direct Exchanges) She told me to put a list together of Locations (Cities/States) and Dates and she would then try to make an exchange for me. I would recommend contacting Nina Lay at extension 162 at 800-736-5906, I just don't want to give wrong info...I sent my request in to her late Friday night, so I will keep everyone updated via this post once I have more information.

HI Jim, Have you ever done the direct exchange with QH? Just wondering how long I should wait, I don't want to lose my weeks use...thanks much

I don't remember what happened that year except we showed up for Week 47 (normally Thanksgiving Week) only to find that Week 47 was the next week. It might have been that Week 1 was later than on most calendars, probably because of Sugar Bowl week. Week 52 is always Sugar Bowl week and sometimes the Sugar Bowl isn't on New Year's Day. If the Sugar Bowl is played on say, January 4, then it could fall in what everybody else calls Week 1.

QH's calendar comes in the quarterly newletter they send to owners. I attached the one for 2017 -- don't have 2018 yet.

Thanks Jim, as always you are super helpful.

The cost is $125 and you send a list to Nina and she will try and find a match

UPDATE: just finished a conversation with Nina at QH. You have 1 year from the date that you deposit your unit with QH to make a match. Nina stated since I gave her multiple states and dates I should not have a problem getting a match made. I'm very excited as I feel $125 is a good deal for an exchange

 

[spackler]

Thanks for the updates; I haven't used this feature yet but I probably will at some point.

 

[Sugarcubesea]

I'm so excited, Nina just scored a summer reservation for August of 2018 at Spinnaker at Shipyard for my Quarter House Direct Exchange. For a cost of $125, I'm very happy...

Congrats! With Quarter House low maintenance fees and the low exchange fee, nice exchange!!

I've done an in-house exchange for a different week before, but I've never used the direct exchange to get another resort.

You will enjoy it Congratulations!

That is not how the Sugar Bowl week works. The QH calendar is consistent and a very common timeshare calendar but a fixed event week like Sugar Bowl will switch with week 1 when the Sugar Bowl falls after the normal week 52 check-out. It does not push the calendar forward.

Thanksgiving is not a fixed event week and Thanksgiving sometimes falls on week 46. It is like this at every timeshare resort that I know of. Unless there is a resort that has a fixed Thanksgiving week it will always vary. Not as much as July 4 week 26/27 but it still happens I think every 2 or 3 years in 7.

With this great experience I will no longer ever deposit my QH into II going forward as this will provide me a fabulous option for trading at a very low price. WIN-WIN for me. I’m loving my QH.

Thank you so much. We have never been to Hilton Head and I’m very excited

Maybe I just effed up! But, since I have a Week 46, QH could have put me in that unit. Instead, they exchanged my 2BR Week 47 for a vacant 2BR LO. Whatever! QH gets kudos for taking care of an owner.

QH, really is an outstanding TS and they do take very good care of their owners.

That worked out! One not so hidden gem of the QH is the ability for an owner to book a discounted nightly rate. This makes it really nice night to book the larger units for only a weekend.
