Any reviews on this site? The membership is free and exchange fee is reasonable. Interested in knowing if anyone has used it for and exchange or rental.

I have a week banked with them now and find quite a good selection of places I would go. The reason I banked with them was while at Morritt's Grand Cayman in February I spoke with a couple fromm Canada who were there on a Platinum Exchange. They used an Orlando week and by using Platinum there was no 1-4 restriction.

You have to be careful with the exchange fee - Platinum seems to have a million reasons why the week you want is extra special and should cost over $200 to exchange. Get the goods on the actual exchange fee they are going to charge before getting your heart set on a particular week.

Exactly! I have both rented and exchanged with them and was satisfied. BUT, they are my second or third choice because of their extra fees for a larger unit and holiday weeks, etc. It is a trade-off. If they have what I want and I can't get it anywhere else I'll take it and pay the fees.

That leads me to another question

Which exchange company offers latest last minute deposits. Im sure a majority of us have had unexpected events within a month of our vacation and have had to deposit the week. I believe II has up to 14 days in advance.

I used them for the first time recently. I traded my home resort for two consecutive weeks in Santa Fe, NM. I was able to conduct the entire thing on the phone with a rep at my resort. She told me that while one of the weeks we requested was a "premium" she took care of it by requesting one of my trade weeks (which are floating) be a premium week as well. I was very satisfied with the process and what we got as an exchange.

Very Pleased

I have traded with them twice in the last year and have been extre,mely pleased wih both trades. I don't know what people are talking about with extra fees...I have never paid extra. Granted, I didn't exchange for high profile vacation weeks. Howewer, I did exchange my studio for a 1BR with no upcharge.

They do have a good selection of different resorts and are very easy to work with. I would highly recommend them. Much easier than SFX or Dial and Exchange if you like to search on your own.

we've had very good luck with them and plan to conitnue. The personal service is also appreciated.
The upgrade fees are reasonable: $97 to upgrade unit size and also if you are booking a holiday week. Overcome that by depositing a 2 ND unit, if you are going to want one, and a holiday week.

Deposit within 120 days and get a bonus week. We are in Kona Hawaiian Resort right now with a bonus week that cost us a total of $119 !
