Two for one... like happy hour! :)

Kind of. Marriott has us listed as owners of a one week, two bedroom villa. Our second or third time at Surf Club we met a couple from California and the guy took us to school on Interval and how to work the system. Now we could book the one bedroom for a week and the studio for a week through Marriott, but the odds of getting consecutive weeks is astronomical and the effort required is exhausting (the one time we tried we had to move to HI for 6 days between stays at SC). Interval handles everything for a reasonable fee. We make one phone call with our wishes and wait for them to contact us. We either accept what they offer or we don't and they go back to work. Once we come to an agreement, they book everything and off we go with a lot less headaches. And almost always unless I screw up dates we get the same room for the entire two weeks. This year with our trade we have a two bedroom villa for two consecutive weeks.
