Searching online everyday, it seems to me that little or nothing appears on weekends. And I can't recall ever having received a confirmation for an ongoing search on Saturday or Sunday. Do the exchange company personnel who verify deposits and enter them into the system not work on weekends? Would that mean that deposits made on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday would be most likely to show up early in the week?
Has anyone noticed a pattern?

Today is Sunday of Memorial weekend. I made an exchange request with II on Friday afternoon. At 11:56pm that night I received an email from II confirming one of my selections. However, after re-thinking our dates, we realized that was not a good date, so I sent an email 'rejecting' the certificate. Within the hour (5:00am Sat.) my list was 're-set'. Then this morning at 1:36am another confirmation arrived for a different resort, different week.

So, it appears to me that confirmations are sent out by II 24/7.

I cannot say for sure about now, but in the past I. I. did call me on the weekends to ask whether I would go to another resort that was available. I do not remember any confirmations on the weekends however.

We are trading our 1BR Timberlodge summer platinum. The 1st confirmation was for a 1BR at Aruba Surf. The 2nd one was for a 1BR at Aruba Ocean, May 16-23, 2008. And I hate to say this, but we then looked at our air options (from SFO) and decided that we still had so many other options available to use that week that we really weren't up to tackling that long of a flight...so we canceled that one as well. I feel like a lucky fisherman that has just thrown back two trophy fish waiting to hook a world record. :hysterical:
