Best time to check II for Accommodation Certificate inventory availability?

[kckaren21]

Is there a best time or day to check II for inventory to use an Accommodation Certificate?
Do they post more new weeks avail in the morning at a certain time, or evening, or certain days? I am trying to use my AC before it runs out!

I imagine they make very short term weeks AC weeks, so should I anticipate finding ones within a week of their start date?

Thanks for any guidance!
Karen

I think a week is pretty far out to try and find a really good II AC. The inventory is usually pretty last minute. It seems to me that the inventory bumps up on Thursdays and Fridays for that Friday, Saturday or Sunday check-in's. Keep II open on your computer and keep refreshing. Where are you looking for ? I will try and keep an eye out.

Yikes! That is last minute!
I would need something we can drive to from the Los Angeles area. So, Southern CA, Las Vegas, would be best bets.

How do you refresh searches, is there a key, like F5, or something like that?

These days with the AC's I have it makes absolutely no difference for something "really good". For example if there is a 2BR at a premium resort in Orlando like Lakeshore reserve and a few others and it's checking in the same day or the next, it still won't show up. Completely blocked. On top of this when they took away all grid free periods it made my ACs unusable. At least for me. I'm only interested in driving distance and there is nothing worth staying at.

The "really" good AC exchanges are usually for the upcoming weekend. If you are watching that LM thread in sightings that is what you will see, mainly weeks good for check in the upcoming weekend. I have seen Marriotts Newport Beach in CA pop up a couple of times.

When I'm working from home, I have II and RCI set up with my search parameters and just go back and click the search button over and over again. I find inventory pops up throughout the day...but around 7am EST there does seem to be an influx of units.

The Welk resorts pop up frequently with an II AC. A last minute Sunday check in might work for you if you only wanted to use the weekend or a long weekend, you would still have the following Thursday, Friday & Saturday nights to use at the resort.
