New to TUG, although owned our TS for 20 years. I'm not a savvy trader and don't really understand how many of you can find the information on trades that you do and report on this bb. So I'd appreciate advise experienced Marriott traders can provide.
We own a 2BR Floating Prime week Streamside Vail Evergreen unit. We used to use the week, but our skiing days are over and exchange into Cancun for Spring Break, which usually has tons of inventory so isn't a problem. So I really have no idea of the trading power I can expect for somewhere else.
I reserved 2015 week 6 (World Ski Championships), intending to try renting it for the first time, listing on Tug bb and a dedicated Vail by owner rental website. Its now approaching 90 days before check in, so I'm thinking of depositing the week for exchange.
Some questions, 1) will depositing closer to check in hurt my trading power?
2) Hoping to exchange into Marriott's Malaga or Marbella for a 2016 week in September or October. These are Gold and Gold Holiday weeks and I'll probably pick 6 weeks for each property for my request. How likely would I be able to match here?
3) Would we be better off trying to make the same exchange for September or October 2015 as these would already be booked through Marriott?
4) Are there equivalent non-Marriott properties I should consider adding to the request to increase the chance of matching? If so which would you suggest?
5) Should I hedge my bets and also request Cancun Spring 2016? we are already booked into Cancun April 2015. We always match at the Royal Resorts and I'm tired of them. How difficult a match is the Westin Lagunamar 2 BR in Cancun? If I specify this resort with multiple dates I'd be satisfied if I could not get the Spain exchanges.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide.
