Is it me, or have the pickings in II been very slim lately?

Of course, I have no idea if request are being met, but online pickings seem to be considerably less lately.

I wonder whats going on, or if others are having a different experience while searching?

Maybe I am just not that familiar with ii but I got two nice exchanges for next year with the leftovers. Not that they were high on anyones exchange list except maybe mine. I mostly search Florida so that may be why.
I had my pick of nice beach resorts for June and chose royal vista.

Good to hear!

I think one difference for me is that Marriott now bulk banks. Instead of seeing availability trickle in, you see it in clumps, leaving dry stretches in between.

I am always searching for SPECIFIC resorts in dead summer in Europe, so it is always slim pickings.

Oh that may be why I see stuff that interests me.
I do see quite a bit of marriotts but they are the plentiful older marriotts.
not that I am that picky. I am happy to see them.
of course I haven't seen crystal shores or ocean palms but hopefully one day I will.

Yup.....Very true.

I'm often looking for Europe too, in early June, and very little is available on line.

Yeah they're more difficult than other Marriott's but hang in there, and hopefully you'll get lucky.

I am always hopeful but with that dreaded priority I seem locked out with my little ol CMV.
