Suggestions for people waitlisting to switch resorts

[zulaya]

Another thread, plus my own hopeful plans got me thinking I should just post this as it's own separate thread.

You see so many threads where people are on the waitlist trying to switch resorts (OKW to BCV, BCV to BWV, BCV to VWL, etc) and that the waitlist is just not coming through.

For those of you who find yourself in this situation, please use the Rent and Trade Board. If you have read the FAQ, this is not a board where only paid transactions can be posted. Trading ressies are fair game.

So if you post what you are looking for and someone else is looking to switch resorts, you might have your problems solved.

As an example, I know I will probably face the waitlist in 2004 as I will be trying to either move from a 2BR BCV to a 2 BR VWL in early December OR move up from a 2 BR BCV to a GV at OKW. Both I am sure will be a long waitlist for me as someone who does not own there and can't get on a waitlist until the 7 month window.

But if someone wanted into BCV in early December and we could just trade ressies, that would be so much easier. It could work that way for a lot of people.

So hopefully this might give others an avenue to explore when trying to switch resorts.

that's a good suggestion.

a related question... would you be limited to to trading ressies only?

it seems trading points would be a better option for both parties, that way they can both handle the ressies/requests/etc part themselves.

but, isn't there some limitation to transferring?

i.e. if party A transferred points to party B, then Party B could not transfer points to Party A anymore because you're limited to transferring in one direction only?

just starting to learn more about transferring rules, so i wanted to see if i understood this correctly.

It is a very good suggestion. I traded my BWV points to someone who wanted a standard view for his HHI points for my upcoming Easter trip. We did this at the 11 month mark to make sure that we both got what we wanted. We did and it worked out for both of us.

I wish I had known my plans 11 months in advance, but I just closed on my BWV resale at the 6 month window.
