Folks, I'm taking us back to basics here for a sec... how does one get an AC? (newer to timeshares and have yet to use II or RCI even though I am a member of both...)
I have also had ACs show up in my account - usually multiple per year. I suspect it is because I made an exchange each year - but I am not sure if something triggers them.
They do have restrictions. But if you like Orlando you can book a 2br for around $300 in upper class resorts during off season. That is the only location I have paid attention to since most of the other places we like to go are omitted.
Here is an excerpt from one of my ACs: (lengthy)
