VCC and Starwood bulk space bank
John,
The reason week 52 is still available is because Starwood bulk space banks and does not bulk space bank holiday weeks. They save holiday weeks for owners that are going to use. They will not let you deposit a week you reserved for owner use. You will need to call Owner services when you get your II account set up and get them to assign a week from their corporate account to your account. The good news is you do not have to worry about late depositing. They usually deposit about 9-11 months ahead.
With regard to 2008, I don't think they have deposited any weeks past January 2008.
I would guess trading power in the following order.
March, Feb, Jan, April, May, Oct, Nov.
The good news is that at least any week in the first 4 months of the year will trade into any 2 bedroom Starwood that is likely to be deposited. Keep in mind that you are unlikely to find any holiday weeks at other Starwood properties being deposited, especially 2 bedrooms. Also a plus with a 2 bedroom you can put in an ongoing request. There is probobly lots of stuff that never makes it online.
Congrats,
Short
