  • UPDATE!!! II Trade Test Saturday Morning, May 5, 07

    II Trade test on Saturday morning, May 5, 2007

    If you would like to see how your II weeks trade, some of us are doing a fun trade test this Saturday morning, May 5, 2007, starting at
    8:30 am eastern
    7:30 am central
    6:30 am mountain
    5:30 am pacific

    NOTE*

    In order to make searching a little easier, we will only be using two different time frames. When you do your search, you can clump all the resorts in the same time frame together, and search simultaneously. Example....All 9/1 thru 3/1 together. Do the same with 6/1 thru 3/1.

    Once you are on the 'Vacation Exchange' page in II, choose 'Resort Name Or Code' ...Type in all the codes of the resorts listed, that have the same date. Put in the dates, leave the number of adults, at 1, and then click continue. What's available to you, will be on the next page.......Leaving the # of adults at 1, (the default setting) will still allow you to see, everything that your unit has the power to pull, including 2 & 3 bdrms.

    The dates were chosen because of current availability, and not necessarily demand. Although, demand was also considered. Marriott & Sheraton 'Preference Periods' were also taken into considertion. That is why some prime dates, have been eliminated, in certain areas. We wanted to search what should be available to most 5 * resorts, and perhaps, some non 5 * resorts, as well.

    Marriott - MCV, 9/1 thru 3/1

    BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

          I look forward to seeing the results.

                Angela, thanks for setting this up.
                Assuming I can get up at 5:30 on Saturday morning....what do we do with the results? Post them here or send they to someone to put in a spreadsheet?
                Thanks

                      Your Welcome....However, it was a joint effort. Mike (mshatty) and others all participated, as well. It was a group effort!

                        So as I understand it, we would be searching for specific resorts within the time periods. Are we doing any tests to see how many resorts an interval will pull?

                          Ummm .... maybe not. He gets locked out of his dorm at 6PM Saturday. I don't think campus security would take kindly to him sleeping in his Subaru with boxes of his belongings stacked all around the car. Besides .... it's supposed to rain.

                          Every time he came home all year he took back a car load of stuff. Plus he's a big shopper. I hope it will all fit in our big van and his car. If you're on I-40 East between Nashville and Knoxville Saturday, watch for us. It may be a sight to see.

                          Next time, I promise.

                          Sheila

                            I am not Angela but......

                            For this test, it was decided to be 'resort specific'
                            We had done an informal one a few months ago searching for one specific resort and it was interesting to see what pulled what and what unit size was seen.

                            We will do a different one in the future.
