I did not know this so just tried it. I used a restricted week that was set to expire December 7th (used all my extensions so not eligible to move the date out) to make a 6 night “short stay” booking for Christmas week in Williamsburg! Lots of other options for dates even further out into next year so apparently short stay bookings are not restricted by the expiration date on the week was well (and I could book larger units if available). I thought I was just going to lose the week but this post saved me from having to use another week for this reservation so a great “save” for us since 6 nights (vs. 7) is just fine for this trip!

I just found this out too! Don’t have much experience with II. Just made an exchange thru them. It was my first so it was free! Have not used the AC at all. Can you book short stays with them?

ACs can only be used to book the inventory available for that specific AC. They are all grid restricted. Some can be used for an ongoing search but many can’t.

This doesn't work if you have a flex replacement week

When you say "replacement", do you mean cancellation replacement week?
