    Marriott weeks deposit expiring July 15

    I have a 1 bedroom deposit expiring July 15, but my family won't be able to take vacation until 1st half of August. Would it be better to extend the week or exchange for something and then get a E-plus? I have not done either in the past. Thanks a lot for your help, Jane
