  • Are the chances as slim as I think?

    Ok, so here is the situation I am in. We gave up our 2-bedroom week in Orlando at Westgate Palace (no negativity here, I know people do not like them with MF’s of approximately $730 to DAE back in November.

    Now, my brother-in-law’s brother wants to know if he can use our week. Obviously, since it was given to an exchange company, the answer is no. My question is, what are the chances I can find him something to check in on July 1st, that would be comparable? I realize the chances are slim being Independence Day, so before spending time trying to help them out want to see if it is even worth it.

    I am all out of BG points so booking a BG unit or exchanging through RCI on that account is a bust. Anything through SVC is probably much more than they want to spend, as they would be looking at $1200 or so with exchange fees in.

    My last two options are, are getting an exchange through SFX or DAE for this week. What are the chances of getting something in a decent property? I can use one of my bonus weeks with SFX or the deposit that I have with DAE and just pay the exchange fee. Is this dreaming or would I be in a good position to put in a request? How long should I wait before telling them to go and book something else?

    I would give it a shot. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

        I waited too long last year to make a trade for the week between Palm Sunday and Easter, and for the first time ever I found absolutely nothing available in the Orlando area (for RCI trade). Out of desperation I booked a week at a hotel where I had to pay! And then something opened up. The only place that did: Westgate!

          They will be re-imbursing me, put I would still have to pay the guest certificate with these right? Not sure if they will want Kissimmee are or not but I'll check with thim. Some of the reviews and pictures are a little sketchy. I'll have to keep an eye out for one of these perhaps. This would definately be an option for them, might not be as nice as they could have had though. Thanks for pointing these out! After this suggested, I checked my ICE membership and II GetAways for stuff as well, but nothing much their either. Who really wants to go to Florida in July?
