Today I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from Interval confirming my exchange to Grande OCean for Aug 31, 2007!!!!!! - used a Gift of time Ocean Pointe and requested just this date for either Monarch or MGO. Am so glad and feel so very lucky - didnt think OP will be that strong a trader.
 
Actually, Ocean Point is a beter trader than many think... Our gold OP has gotten into platinum season HHI. The gift of time is a platinum week at OP and the August 31st I believe is the first week in gold/ sport season on HHI. Congrats for the trade.

You definitely Squiggled into that one

You definitely "Squiggled" your way into Grande Ocean, and you will love it. I promise. jme
 
We made a similar trade and are at Grande Ocean now. I think some of it has to do with the fact that many east coast schools are now back in session before Labor Day. We're from Buffalo and our kids don't go back until 9/6. The resort itself has not been crowded and most of the families we've seen have younger children who are either in preschool or are at home. You are also coming during "hurricane season", but Ernesto has not posed a problem for us...just one day of rain. Congrats on your trade and have a great week.
 
It is not hard to get the top HHI resorts after the summer vacation season. The added bonus is this is (in my opinion) by far the best time to go there.
 
HHI Marriotts are readily available during the second half of August. You can also snag a bunch of them in flexchange for both July and August. I got a Grande Ocean for the week after July 4th in flexchange about a month out this year.
 
squiggle,

how's your weather?

OP is a great trader! I've gotten GO several times in the summer using just a 1 bedroom OP platinum. Wasn't that gift of time a full 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom? That should be very powerful! I paid $1,000 for a 3 bedroom OP gift of time. I'm saving it for a special trade when I definitely need a full 2 bedrooms during a peak week.

I have an OP gift of time for 12/31-1/7/2007. I didn't realize I could trade - is that correct? Is that a platinum week? Can I deposit and use at another date?

I traded my OP Gift of Timer into Grand Ocean for June 23 to June 30, 2007. I am very happy too.
 
mazaned -

Yes, that's a Platinum week. You can deposit it and request - now or later - an exchange for another week at the same or a different resort. The exchange can be for a week anytime through the end of 2008.

However, if you plan to deposit, you should do so as soon as possible. One important element of trading power is how early you deposit the week.
