When viewing your search results you will see the trading power needed to for an exchange holiday at a specific resort and week listed with the resort information. In order to confirm that holiday, the Exchange Trading Power of the holiday must be equal to or less than the trading power of your deposit. If you book a holiday with less Exchange Trading Power than your Deposit Trading Power, you will receive a Deposit Credit for the difference between the Deposit Trading Power and Exchange Trading Power. If you find a holiday you really want, but the Deposit Trading Power needed is higher than your Deposit's trading power you may be able to combine deposited weeks and/or Deposit Credits to get that exchange.
