If the two of you are having problems booking what you want, when are your trying to book? - You should be booking tough-to-get points reservations right at the 13-month and/or 12-month release date. That's what we do, and in 11 years of MVC ownership, we have never failed to get our first-choice points booking on our first try. That includes multiple years in OF/OV units at Maui Ocean Club in the new towers during winter whale season, March in Aruba, Palm Desert in the fall and in March, Newport Coast in the fall, Crystal Shores on Marco Island in November, Ocean Pointe on Singer Island in March, and back before we bought our own condo on Hilton Head, multiple stays on HHI at Grande Ocean and Barony in April/May/September. Admittedly, we almost always try to avoid traveling to family vacation destinations when school is out (we have to deal with that chaos enough when we are at our HHI condo in the summer!), but winter in Maui and March in Palm Desert and Aruba are very high demand too, and there were no issues when booking at release date.
