I purchased a Marriott timeshare in Phuket. I purchased the gold pacakge, which is summers months. How is my trading power to get into other Marriott locations? The unit is a 2/2. I would like to travel to other beach resorts in the summer? I am an II member too.
I would love advice.

Thanks!!!
 
The summer months are off-season periods for Phuket. Thus, your week won't trade as well as most Platinum weeks at Phuket and other Marriott resorts. In years you want to exchange your week, reserve it and deposit it a full year in advance and request your exchange more than a year in advance whenever possible.

Give II a number of resorts as your exchange request and as broad a time period as you are willing to accept and you may well have success. However, if you can travel when schools are in session in the U.S., you will have more certainty of success.
 
I would think you would have a good chance to trade into Ocean Pointe during the summer which is also a gold week. We own a gold week here during the summer and while it is hot and humid, is that not why you go to the beach to cool off? We love it and you will too.

Hi Roll on You Bears,
Just a thought to consider.
This may increase your trading power slightly - I'm not sure.
Aussie & New Zealand winter school holidays are from the end of June through the first 2 or 3 weeks of July and lots of us want to get trades into places like the Marriott. If you pick these weeks to reserve it may increase your chances of a better exchange.
Dave might be able to confirm this for you.
