Do they do this every year? I need something for next year, would love to take advantage of this, through a WM owner.

Is there fairly good stuff available? And are there blocks of days or mostly odd here and there?

Just won an Ebay auction last night for a membership - the ability to get some extra time at a reasonable cost was a big plus for me. I'm extremely curious to take the WM site out for a spin!!

Except for the summer, there is fairly good stuff available. There is summer availability at some resorts, but not the most popular ones. But the popular resorts tend to fill up pretty quickly once the 13month booking window opens.

They typically do this several times (a year) or at least periodically...spring, winter etc... I think the winter one is better.

I was in the same boat but finally got access last week! The big winter sale is over but there are also "Monday Madness" specials each week for specific resorts at 8 cents per credit. Not sure if that's the new cost for 2018 for the broader sales as well?

I've already booked an Inventory Special as a gift for spring break at 6.6 cents per point, and planning on using Bonus Time at the same price for my own spring break (whatever is still available 2 weeks out). Lots of complicated ways to book for cash but I think I'm getting the hang of it!

And do I understand it correctly that any cash bookings include housekeeping? I think that's right but just curious.

The 8 cents a credit Monday Madness came in on January 1, I think.

Yes, any reservation paid for with cash (and not credits) includes housekeeping. There is some sort of invisible fee that was added to my inventory special reservation (about $30) but it's not itemized anywhere I can see it. It was not a resort with the "local tax" icon either...

Just guessing -- but the $30 discrepancy could be that your reservation triggered the "nightly minimum" guidelines. The total due for the cash reservation is calculated by multiplying each night's number of credits by the cash rate, adjusted, as needed, to meet the nightly minimum value.

I thought that too, but in this case the point value was high enough to meet the minimum. Thanks!
