As I said...BocaBum99 is a Grand Master, Jedi Master, Grand Poobah, Yoda, and all around king of the Flextrade when it comes to upgrading his bronze SW week into Hawaii Diamond weeks (I just invented a week as Gold and Platinum weeks are not valuable enough).

Keep posting those pictures and I will toast to you when I meet Steve1000 for lunch on Thursday in Boca.

Bill,

Thanks for the compliment, but I am actually about average when it comes to exchanging and trading up.

It just seems to you that I am getting better trades than average because a) I exchange so much and b) because I post about my trades.

You will find that most of the great traders are quiet about what they do because they have learned that if they "brag" about what they get, the exchange companies will change the rules so that they won't get those trades anymore.

I'm a trading newbie, so I still talk about it. And, I know it's a huge mistake. I constantly get really nice pms and emails from people basically telling me to shut up about it. But, when I've got a perma-smile due to too many Mai Tais, sometimes I just can't contain myself.

Titan of the Traders
Fearsome Swapper of the Flexchange
Big Cheese of the Bluegreen
Doctor of the Discount
Mixer of the Mai Tai
Wizard of the WorldMark
Doctor of Disney
Handicapper of Hawaii
Innovator of the II
Raider of the RCI

Did I leave any of your titles out?

It's absolutely not worth it. Stay away. Forget it. It's a bad deal.

After all, I hate looking at this site all day long. At this very moment, there is a pod of whales swimming about 500 yards from the beach:

Boca, did you manage to stay here with your Bronze week and see a pod of whales too? I am very envious but you enjoy!!! How wonderful. You are so smart and thank you for sharing your knowledge freely to the rest of us.

Who IS Boca really ????

We know who Boca is as we met him a few months ago at Laguna Beach, CA. He also met Cathyb (TUG) and her husband that same afternoon. We all enjoyed meeting him.

Boca is the Kahuna of timeshare! That is his title. Kahuna Boca Bum. It's a fitting title.

fwiw, I just checked on this with both Marriott and II. MFs for 2007 are $943 and expected to rise 5-8% per year.
