Am i doing something wrong?

come one, we are one big happy family, Spence. Everyone has a right to provide input. Let's hear what bing'er has to say before we jump to conclusion that the point(s) is "worthless"

We are not one big happy family, there are people here who dislike me greatly and for most the feeling is mutual, bing has nothing to contribute to this thread and if you don't know what he's referring to....

Diamonds is short on the east coast. Hope future acquisition will improve the situation.

Can you go for a one bedroom? If so, you have a much better chance. Instead of pursuing after Cap Cod, try Myrtle Beach and HHI via II. Availability, e.g. Sheraton Broadway and Marriotts is always quite abundant at the end of August, though hurricane is a risk.

sounds more like #2 to me

Myabe you are right. I guess i need to figure out how to sell this. See over in that thread soon.

You know i did try MB last year but couldn't get anything but maybe i tried too late in the year.

BTW - I just checked HH and there is nothing for the last 2 weeks of August.

Or learn how to use it. Look at the US Collection List so you know what you can reserve 13 months out. Mark your calendar to reserve other resorts at 10 months out. Check the DRI site often...people book and cancel all the time. Make sure you have your Interval account set up. You could right now book a 2bdroom gold crown in Pennsylvania for 6500 points.

Good luck!

I am a Trust owner but i own in Daytona

So you own both? Are you sure what you own? The statement "I am a Trust owner but i own in Daytona" does not give me much confidence that you do.

[PeelBoy Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close PeelBoy]

Make it clear to us whether you have access to II. Everyone is trying to help you.

I tried Southwest in II. Except Williamsburg, there are a few 2 bedrooms in VA and NC mountain. There is a 3 bedroom in ME

I tried Diamonds. Nothing in SC, because I have 10 month right only, but there are alot in TN and FL.

My observation in the past 3 years is you must be able to find a two bedroom Marriott in HHI the end of August, and Sheraton Broadway as well. It may be too early now to see these locations. Put in an ongoing search and keep check, cuz inventory probably will come out in November or so.

I won't say guarantee but your situation is really beyond me.

try calling DRI's owner enhancement dept - see if they can give you their perspective on what you own and how you can best reserve your time in desired places and times.

have a DRI rep search with same criteria as you - search with him from your computer. If results are different, ask them open a trouble ticket. I had same issue last year where my European search was HOSED (meaning NOTHING showed up when there WAS definite availability). It turned out there was a system issue with some accts like mine but took a week or so to fix once the issue got escalated to the right group.

[muzjik Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close muzjik]

Definitely call. I still see all that availability...and while I'm special, I'm sure I'm not THAT special.

[Spence Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close Spence]

I've noticed a lot of glitchy searches this week. If I search for specific dates it shows no availability, if I search with flexible dates, availability!

[talanjs Member Find all posts View Profile Close talanjs]

Definitely call. I still see all that availability...and while I'm special, I'm sure I'm not THAT special.

the difference is i have 9000 annual points.
Island Links for that week is more then 9000 points so i can't see it until 10 months (when my banks points can take effect)...argh.

hmmmmm, that shouldn't work that way; you should be able to see availability because you can always borrow points.

[talanjs Member Find all posts View Profile Close talanjs]

would i have better luck with availability with a different TimeShare program, like a hotel based one?
I really getting frustrated not being able to get the resorts i want during the weeks i want, even trying to use II.

That's what the guy told me. Because he had it at about 11,000 points. So i guess you could call it in to request it
