Welk Platinum Points Reservation Experience

We are considering buying 480,000 Welk Platinum Points on the resale market. The booking window is 12 months for regular members, but 15 months for Premier Members (540,000 points or more). So all members with more than 540,000 points can book prime weeks ahead of us.

My question is if we want to book prime July weeks at the 12 month window, will we have a high probability of success or will those prime weeks most likely already be booked by Premier Members? Are there any WPP members who have experience with booking prime July weeks or other prime weeks such as holidays.

I ask this because we are Marriott owners (1 week) and we can never book holidays because the multiple week owners have already booked them at 13 months.
 
My experience with Welk Resorts as an Platinum owner is that there is almost always availability for holidays and summer weeks when I book early. I have found that 4 months or more prior to a desired week will give me availability. Just don't wait for summer to begin before you book your summer week.
 
Thank you for sharing your experience. It helps a lot.
