I place an exchange request with DAE no more than a month ago for an exchange to Scotland in late July 2009. There were a number of likely problems with the exchange -
1. The dates are at the beginning of the Scottish school holiday period.
2. I have a fixed holiday date, so only one possible weekend to start.
3. 4 adults occupying so ideally a 2 bed unit, although 1 bed would do at a pinch.
4. There were only 3 resorts in practical locations for a 1 week holiday as I want to visit relatives whilst up there.
I really didn't think there was much chance of anything, let alone to have availability confirmed so quickly. DAE have come across big time for me. 2 bedroom unit at CLC Duchally, which was my first choice at it's only 17 miles from the people I want to visit.
I had previously contacted Macdonald resorts to check likely internal exchange possibilities and was received with the metaphorical shrug of the shoulders and a 'dunno' response.
No prizes for guessing where my first port of call for exchanges will be in the future.
