Just spoke with Interval International again, and they said I would get the AC for Waiohai April 10-17 (that's Easter week), and just had to deposit 60 days ahead of our April 10, 2009 check in date. Of course we won't wait too much longer to decide, but we will be back at Waiohai in a couple of weeks, and will decide then whether we want to go again so soon. I asked again about the AC, and she assured me that we would get it no matter how close we were to the 60 day limit. We don't really want the AC to expire a year from now, so have been holding off for that too, as we have Shell points to use up this year too.
Didn't ask her how much depositing close to the 60 day date would affect trading power. We have usually gone right back to Waiohai if we deposited, but this year may trade elsewhere. Our Mountainside has been a great exchanger no matter when we deposited. However, perhaps if we had deposited earlier, Mountainside would qualify for an AC? Think we have received a notice from II saying that one time, but we had already deposited without being offered an AC.
Now that we are TUG members, we are becoming much more aware of the possibilities! Thanks!
