Ocean Blvd, 3 bed, June 2011

Just traded a 28K generic getting ready to expire for a 3 bedroom Ocean Blvd, Tower 4 for the last week in June 2011. Total cost of points and exchange fee ........ $315.

My husband says were not going, but with 11 siblings and tons of adult nieces and nephews, I grabbed it anyways. Figured if I couldn't talk him into, for $315, anyone in my family would take it.

Deposited our 2011 Wis Dells 2bd unit in Aug, 2010, to get the AC.

Used the AC for a June 2bd Marriott's Harbour Lake(gifted to a deserving teacher). Exchanged the Dells unit for a 1bd Villa del Palmar Flamingos Feb 2012.

Total including mf/exch fee/AC fee/2yrs II membership = $1340. I'm a happy timeshare owner this year:)

How can you trade a studio for a 2-bedroom. When I entered my 2 bedroom exchange (which sleeps 8), I couldn't enter 8 people, and had to change it to 6. And, I couldn't enter a 3 bedroom. :shrug:

You have to enter the max occupants for the unit you own/deposited. Does that help? I own a 1 bdr, so I can only search for < or = 4 occupants.

We traded our studio at Mountainside Resort at Stowe (week 51) for a one-bedroom at Island Park Village Resort near the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park the end of May, beginning of June!

Very excited now, and I have a lot of planning to do!!

My first trade on II and now I'm hooked!

Traded my May studio in Whistler for a 2 bedroom Four Seasons Scottsdale Residence Club Troon North in Feb. Perfect time for golf as it's -22 Celsius in Calgary (-7.6 Fahrenheit)

I felt so happy with the trade/experience that I wanted to support TUG and bought a membership. lol

Orange Lake Follow Up

I just traded a one-bedroom Woodstone at Massanutten August week for a 3-bedroom at Lake Orange Resort in early January through RCI Weeks.

Just got back from Orange Lake. Had a wonderful time. Best timeshare that I've ever stayed. Quality furnishings, lot's of space, nice resort, friendly staff, and good location.

I traded prior to the Nov. 15 new transparent system. However, my RCI History shows that I traded my 18 TP August week at Woodstone for this 16 TP unit. It's off season, but well worth 16 TPs.

Had I traded under the new system, I would have received 2 TPs in change.

Woke up this morning to a confirmation for a 3/18/2011 check-in at the Marriott's Newport Coast Villas (2 Bdrm). This is a 4,000 Worldmark credit Flexchange, so no complaints here. Any suggestions on restaurants, things to do, etc., would be appreciated.

I did the exchange over the phone, I just asked what's available. You can't place an ongoing request with a studio for two bedroom, unless the resort only has two bedroom units as the smallest unit size.
