Looks like people are getting an early Christmas gift of two new 3BR Accommodation Certificates for use through June 2020. Check your account. Mine appeared this morning.

I was able to use a few of the last free AC's. There are some super generous Tuggers who post good units seen with AC's in TUG's private Sightings/Distressed board.
 
Yes I got two the other day too! Merry Christmas! More vacations!!! :)

Made me look.
I've got four -- two expire 6/30, two 6/28.
Thanks for the heads up. I don't have anything on deposit so I might have missed.
Time to go hunting...
 
I got 3. But my account is inactive right now.

They are obviously trying to get you to renew your account.

I rarely get to use the AC's.
 
All I got in my stocking was a lump of coal, no AC's. I used the two I got in May, so I would have welcomed one or two more.
 
Upon further checking...
Of the four, 2 have exchange fee of $229, 2@ $299.
Found something in Mazatlan I might be able to use.

Regardless, better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

I've been wondering how Interval decides who to grant an AC to. My wife thinks that we get them because we've used some of ours in the past. But this seems to disprove her theory. (I promise that I won't tell her. She thinks, and knows, that she is ALWAYS right.)

They're so considerate in giving out 3BR ACs, I got two more. Seldom is a 3BR available (never for anything you'd use) and thus the price when you use it for a 1BR is higher than what you'd pay for a 1BR AC, do I have that right?

We have yet to use a single freebie AC and we got two in our Marriott account today. I haven't checked our Vistana II account.
 
I rarely use them but my kids and my mom do. Someday we will use them - once we are retired.

FYI, I received two. Yesterday it was only one, but I just checked and there are two there now.
 
I now have four in my account, yes I got the Christmas stocking stuffer too. I cannot use them, but it's appreciated anyway. In all these years I only used one...and it was for a rare, non-AI resort in Cancun that I absolutely loved. Merry Christmas to all!
 
I have two II accounts - my corporate Vistana and another one that was given to me by II with a voluntary Vistana unit (never used and is now expired).

Both accounts now have three AC in them each - most of the options are pretty well useless :doh:
 
Just received 2 more. Now have 3 ending in June 2020. Never had a chance to use them because our travel is always booked for the next few months.

Which resort was that?
 
I got two while I was at Marriott Willow ridge booked with an AC . It seems to me that if you are flexible they are nice to have. I'm happy to have to option and if they expire without use it has no cost I can see :)

No, you only pay for what you book, up to a 3br.

I had 1 left from the previous 2, now they gave me 2 more.

I recently used one of my free AC's for a 3BR at Marriott's Timber Lodge (south shore of Lake Tahoe). It was a fantastic exchange in my book!
 
In August, after a sighting posted from mdurette, I used one for a week in a 2br in the Suites at Hershey. The hubby, kids and I had an awesome week for an unbeatable price! I love the ACs, wish they were transferable!

Transferable? I've booked weeks for my family using AC's. If you're Interval Platinum, you don't have to pay the guest fee.
 
Yes I can book for family and friends but I mean I wish all those above who say they don’t use them could drop them into my account! Although there is some limit to the amount of vacations I can afford to take even at that cheap price. My dog sitting costs as much as the unit with an AC.

Sorry, was not trying to speak for 'you' specifically. It's always nice when it works to your advantage !!!
