Understanding II AC's Again

[Hostelling Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Hostelling]

I understand II AC's (never got one, because I own a gold at Sea View) but I have never gotten a straight answer from any VC at II as to how this Two For One came about without an AC and at no additional cost. Nor how I could repeat it. Thoughts?

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to trade 1 TS and get 2 trades except by getting an AC or by trading both sides of a locking off unit.

If your example says that what you did in 2002, I'd just say you were lucky in 2002.

Don't count on it happening again.

Sometimes things happen and we don't know why......there are times when exceptions are made on a case to case basis....possibley this special 2 for 1 "arrangement" was part of your purchase agreement of getting a week as an incentive to buy?

When you use an AC - it looks like this in your account

SELECT.
