Targeted Trade Test

I read elsewhere that someone snagged an August 2010 date (8/8-15) at NCV with a Marriott A/C.

Also, there continue to be sightings of what appear to be customer banked NCV visible to non-Marriotts.

Getaways have remained relatively static using my CA/HI control list for nearly the last week. No additions.

The sightings board will give you a very good idea of the current situation vs past years.

I agree, searching through the various sighting boards will give you a very good idea of what is going on. You definitely don't want raise concerns on things that haven't changed such as getways offers and availability at some resorts.

Well, folks, I've been taking care of a terminally ill dementia patient for the past few years so I haven't had the time to keep up. I'll be happy to provide the most current information if others can offer their perspective based on their experience. OK? Thanks

JMHO take it or leave it, I won't say any more.......

And how does this prevent you from using the search function??

You started this thread by saying "With the new points system coming online and the hectic summer reservation season upon us, I was looking for feedback and opinion about probing the 'new' dynamic and comparing to past results and experience to gauge how the coming changes are affecting our ownerships and exchange potentials.....We know this is normal stuff. Developer-owned intervals being marketed for rent through II. What I'm interested in is seeing how things change as the new points system begins"

JMHO......I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean but if you can't take the time to search & document the historical information what's the point.

Did you know before the change to the new point system that
(1) a bulk sighting of Marriott's Ko Olina getaways was posted earlier this year which included summer weeks
(2) is not uncommon to see offseason weeks available for exchange and getaways for Marriott's Newport Coast Villas & Marriott's Aruba resorts

Here are some examples from the sighting board...

Lady, when you PM me privately and ask me a personal airline or travel question, I'll tell you to use the search function. This place is about helping folks and I've helped plenty and haven't asked for much in return. I won't forget. Thanks.

Pat, I have been searching every day and there is nothing there. I will send you a PM.
