Need Opinions

[AFMom]

We will have 100 banked 2004 points available as of 3/01/05. We will not be able to use these points at WDW.... bummer! Just wanted to know what opinions everyone had as to the best usage of these points. Options I'm aware of - Rent for $10pp on rent/trade board, e-bay(not really something we want to do), and II trade (of which I know very little about).
If we go through II, do we have 2 years to use the trade, or is it based on the points expiration?
Any II info, past experiences, or option info would be appreciated! We are sooooooo new to all of this! Thanks!

We bought a resale a few years ago that had points almost ready to expire. We deposited them and then did a II search. The points expired at the end of September 2001 and we ended up taking the trip to Hilton Head in March of 2003. II did a search for over a year for waht we wanted and we finally found something we could use. We had a very nice stay at a Marriott on Hilton Head. I don't think they have changed this since that time.
