Good II Trade

[Oscar923]

II still comes through. Got 2BR spring break ski week at Tahoe Timber lodge in exchange for a studio Shadow Ridge (+upgrade$). Looking at Redweek and Marriott.com, this week would cost about $2,200-2,500. My cost is about $600.

Kids are stoked.

I am new to this II trading game here, but I traded my 2-bedroom October Shadow Ridge week to a 2-bedroom summer Northstar Lodge early august week in Truckee/Tahoe. This is Marriott to non-Marriott trade but is a very good one to us nonetheless. I did check before making the trade and I didn't see the same trade when testing with just the 1-bedroom. I will say II delivers great value for us.

I think you have underestimated your costs. With the Marriott to Marriott exchange fee $139 and a platinum upgrade x2 @ $119.00 and 1/2 maintenance plus lock off fee your costs are closer to $ $900 to $1000. You still got a great value but the days of a SR exchange costing $600 are long gone. I miss those days.

$139+$119+$40+$700=$998

If his week is enrolled then there is no exchange fee for m2m nor lock off fee. Also, if the studio comes from a 2 bdrm then the 1 bdrm worth more than the studio, so 50% is not used but 60/40 or else.

Yes, enrolled, but you're probably right on the total fees in. I was just estimating without calculating late in the evening. I use 1/3 for the studio, so upsize=200 + 1/2 club=95+studio MF=500. Closer to $800.

Its actually a better value than a 1BR->2BR trade. Using the above figures would cost about $1200. If I trade to two 2BR weeks its a total of $2000.
