When I use the II site to search for a exchange for Marriott Ocean Pointe in Palm Beach I get a message saying that code MPB does not exist but that is the 3 character code listed in their on line directory! Huh?

Are you selecting the Resort Name Or Code radio button?
 
Well I thought I was but I just tried it again from the beginning and this time I got a message saying No availability but at least it found the resort. I am also finding it more and more frustrating to search on line for exchanges outside of the 60 day period. I have tried multiple locations for Marriott resorts in the Carribean and Fl for a 3 month period from Jan 1-March 31 and no matter what resort I try it seems like there is nothing available. Very frustrating to spend my time searching for one resort at a time and come up with nothing time and again.
 
You may search for more than one resort at a time.

Just enter

MBP, MBP ect. . .

Just separate the resort codes with a comma in the search box and it will search all at once.
 
Dioxide, I did not know that little trick. Well at least it will cut down on the amount of time I spend on this exercise in futility.
 
Jan-March in Florida/Caribbean is peak season. Most deposits of Marriotts during that season are going to be taken by ongoing searches. Your best chance of getting an exchange is to enter an ongoing search.
