I'm new to II, a member with RCI for a while. I have a studio, even year, 52 week float I'd like to try and exchange online with II.

Never using the site before, and just pondering where/when to travel as it's up in the air, I'm just looking at the moment, but would like to make reservations if I see something suitable.

What I'm wondering is, with the flex week and no specific dates, the II site always wants me to input a specific week on the "planning" page under the "Exchange" tabe before moving on to look at specific availability. I don't have a specific week to exchange since it's a float week I'd be depositing that isn't a specific week, but could be any of the 52 weeks of the year.

Do I just enter the week I want to make reservations for, or just pick a week out of the air? The site lists my week as "FLOAT", the provides me with a calendar dropdown to pick a date from. Why not just pick the busiest week of the year from my home resort for best trade impact?

Thanks much for any advice as once I get through this once, or at least get this answered, I should be pretty good with most everything else. I've looked on their site and don't really see an answer to this, and had a browse at other forums here....I'm sure the answer is already here somewhere and even checked the II FAQs, but don't see it.

Thanks again!:wave:

Most resorts allow you to choose the week that you want to reserve (based upon availability of course), then you request to deposit your week with II.

Reserving a week with the strongest trade value is the correct approach.

With my float week resorts I search by taking a random week out of thin air. If they ask for a confirmation number just punch in 123456. When your ready to deposit call your resort and book a week and have them deposit it in your II account.

Thanks much. I kinda figured to just pick a date, and I'll gove the resort a call to see about depositing a specific week.

Thanks again!:D

Michael - just a little tip on terms - with II, a "Flex week" is a last minute deposit with limited trading rights.

In II terms, your week is a "floating week." If you call it a "flex week" it may be confusing to the folks at II, who may think your are going to make a last minute deposit.
