E-Plus....Retrade up to three time.....

I thought it sounded like a great deal, gives flexibility for a reasonable price..

I wonder if e-plus is available for reservation made by AC.

I do not know.
I did do a retrade with a confirmed 1 BR for a 2 BR unit with a better checkin day paying the exchange fee again as I did not have E-Plus. Still worth it for me and happy to be able to do it online by myself without having to call II.

Somehow I did not know about retrade...still don't. So I purchased insurance for my last trade. My dh was hospitalized and we lost the exchange. Waiting to hear from the insurance company II uses, but it appears that once someone has had a transplant insurance will not cover...we'll see. In any case, this e-plus sounds good in our case.

OK, so this only works for online inventory, right? Would be great if we could keep an exchange while still hunting for something else using an ongoing search against the same deposit...

I believe you have to manually search.

You can call II and have them search for you, but don't think you can put in a request.

Ok, another question about this... if I pay for E-plus, and then need to cancel an exchange, what happens? Is E-plus only good for things I can grab online before I cancel? Or can I cancel and then get a free next exchange?

Once you use your exchange or cancel the exchange, you have lost your ability to use that eplus even if you never used any of the retrades. It does not carry over.

Ok, so it sounds like if I need to cancel, I am better off regrading for something with a checkin date as far out as possible, and then regrading again when I find something that could work. Right?

Yes, you are correct.
I have a cancellation week that will expire in October.
I put in a search for an exchange in September that I already have confirmed with another week.

If my current search matches with the expiring in October week, I will then retrade the confirmed week to something in March 2015 when the week is set to expire......

Hope this strategy works as I just can not use this cancellation week before it expires in October.

I love how spell check keeps correcting retrade to "regrade". We need to teach it " our language"

I can't quite follow this but will go with 'yes, you are correct.'
It is likely that I will use the confirmed week, so I am ok with the eplus option.

YES.....this IS the best strategy.

really, how you described it is the way to do it!

Are you trying to use etrade plus to extend the cancellation week? I don't think it will work like that. I think even with eplus you will find that it won't let you book anything beyond the original expiration date-October. I don't have anything now to test it with but if you decide to try it, report back.

NO

THAT IS CORRECT

I am hoping to get a sept exchange with the October cancellation week and then take the other week (that I have used to confirm the sept exchange already) and do the e-plus retrade as that week has a March 2015 expiration.

Sorry to confuse everyone.....
