I have a couple questions, I have never used mine and let them expire, but I am thinking maybe I should try using one?

1. How much does the AC cost?
2. I was reading FAQ and it "sounds" like you can use the AC time THEN deposit it for another trade? Not sure that makes sense to me.
3. Things don't stay long on the AC limited list? I "thought" I saw a 2 bed marriott Palm Springs one day, but it was gone the next.

Thanks for the info.

1. How much does the AC cost? Costs vary - usually under $300. You can make a pretend booking and click through until you find the price.

2. I was reading FAQ and it "sounds" like you can use the AC time THEN deposit it for another trade? Not sure that makes sense to me. Nope - they work like a deposited week, just without a lot of trading power. They are usually date restricted as well - it varies from certificate to certificate.

3. Things don't stay long on the AC limited list? I "thought" I saw a 2 bed marriott Palm Springs one day, but it was gone the next. If you see it and want it, you need to grab it. There are some gems there, especially within the 60 day period. We leave this weekend for a week in a 2 bedroom unit at Northstar in Truckee on an AC. Last year we stayed at Grand Solmar in Cabo on an AC. We also give these certificates away to friends and family. My BIL used an AC for a week at Sirena del Mar in Cabo. They can be tedious to use - lots of searching - but it's fun when you find a great week.

Thank you. I will put a little more effort into the NEXT one, if I get another one! :)
