Trading into Orlando

I am trying to trade into orlando august 2007 through rci. There is not too much available for my time - am I too late or too early.

Perhaps a bit of both. The early birds already got their worms, but more will coming.

You are a posting member so post on the Rci exchange Opportunities forum what you are looking for and the check back to see if they have spotted it. IMO start your search early and something nice should come in.

OPKANSAS (Does that stand for Overland Park?):

Are you actually opening all of the resorts and counting how many weeks are available at each one to come up with those figures?

YEP! and YEP!

Gosh, if you could just find out how many units are available on each of the check-in dates, we could really pin this down!

YEP! and YEP!

I have found August to be a much easier exchange to Orlando than July. I can pick up August weeks with my weaker traders. If you are available the last 2 weeks of August, when the southern kids are back in school, you should be able to pick up a nice week with even a weak trader.

I have a red floating week, so I cannot use it for points. I hope I am not doing anything wrong. I only found about 19 resorts.

That is why I posted what I could see. If you can't, then it is a trading power issue, and you likely never will, at least not until the last minute when whatever RCI has not disposed of gets dumped into the exchange pool and trading power restrictions are relaxed.

It is nothing you are doing wrong and likely nothing you can do anything about.

I believe you are pretty much seeing what you are going to see between now and then.

My mediocre trader sees 26 resorts for the four weeks starting 7/28/07.

You cannot pull points resorts with RCI points for more than ten months out, so how are you getting points resorts in August?

Trading power is a non-issue in Orlando. I can pull anything in Orlando, anytime of the year with my blue week. What dates are you looking at exactly?

The Hiltons are going to show up about five months out. I always find the best stuff at that time. Don't assume that availability is best a year out because resorts cannot bulk bank that far out in case owners want to use their weeks.

I was looking for a 2 bedroom week of August 10th, 2007? I guess I must have a weak trade. Does the red week matter that the resort banked for me?
