Ok I have 2 weeks in the II system that I'm searching with.. I'll try to explain.

I have an ongoing search for a 2 bedroom at the royal sands in Cancun for Aug 15, 2015, I'm using my Foxrun NC week 15 in 2014 to search.. All I see is a 1 bedroom there with my week, now when I just do a search with a stronger trader (the royal Cancun week 15 of 2016 thats not deposited) I see the 2 bedroom August 15 2015 that I want!! So my question is am I wasting my time trying to get this week with my Foxrun week in an ongoing search??

Thanks Johnny

I would call II and ask them for the exchange.

Yeah I tried that, I went as far as saying I have been a member since 2000 and cant they do it for me.. I also said what's the use of me doing an ongoing search if the weeks there and I can't get it?

Or it could just be in a priority time for other royal resort member's and if it makes it out of priority then it will match for you if you are still he first in line.

I'm a royals member and I don't know if there is a priority time but that could be! Is this usually a secret or will my resort tell me? I'll give them a call..

1. First rule of II, call and ask another rep. maybe two.
2. Keep the ongoing search going, it will match as check-in gets closer.
3. There must be priority because I have searched with two very good traders, and cannot see a 2br until the following month.

Yeah I went through 3 or 4 reps 2 or 3x, I know that game!! Didn't seem to matter at this point but thank you that sounds like good news for me.

It sounds like you just don't have enough trade power. You can wait till closer to check in but imo, it's risky

You shouldn't need a tiger trader to get an AI in Mexico for mid August even a Two bedroom. Looking at old posts on tug indicates that II does have a priority period for Royal resort owners. It doesn't indicate how long. I don't think calling the resort would help because these days they are pushing rci. I think the II reps won't be much help either.

I see a 2BR 8/29-9/5…would that work for your school vacation? Otherwise I am seeing the 1BR and a studio for your date…using a standard resort 2BR red and whitish week.
