What is the likely hood of getting anything this summer on short notice? I have plenty of points, new to timeshare so not sure what to expect. Im looking for a 1 bdrm in coastal S. Cali. Should i get something Now if i find something? Im very flexible with days, weeks even months kids young and not in school.

If you are looking with points you may still be able to get something for summer 2009. There are still things being deposited for this summer although not much "coastal" S Cal...points resorts are now loading for Nov/Dec 2009 as they load 10 months out and most good weeks deposits are long gone.
Take a look at summer 2010 using points searching weeks and there are some really nice resorts available. Even a few 2BDRMs! If I were you I'd be tempted to book next summer for this trip and take something else for summer 2009.

Problem is I dont Actually have my timeshare yet. Still going through the closing process
and it could take a couple more months.
I thought you couldnt book further than 12 months in advance???
I also want to get something in Disneyland area for end nov beg dec (not holiday) hoping i can still get something then also.Comment

You can't if you are just booking Points to Points. 10 months is the max on those. However, you can use your RCI Points to search RCI weeks as well. YOu can book those up to 2 years out.Originally posted by sonomomProblem is I dont Actually have my timeshare yet. Still going through the closing process and it could take a couple more months.

Anaheim has been around too.
These are all on the RCI Exchange opportunity board. You will need a minimum of 30 posts, a Timeshare Review or a nominal contribution to the site to see them.
When you say you are still going thru closing you don't mean you bought from a developer very recently do you? If that is the case you should rescind if you can still do that. Read up on everything and then buy resale.Lawren

You didn't do badly. Below the rule of thumb .02/point.Originally posted by sonomom View Post
Good job.
Depending on where you live and how flexible you are we saw a lot of Last Minute ie <14 days availability in S Cal last summer. Of course things change all the time and that doesn't mean it will happen this summer again.Lawren

so you can book at the "weeks" resorts 2 years in advance?
What is the "nominal fee" to see the exchange board? does it include the 45 days or less opportunities?Comment

Yes. Looking with Points at weeks you can book up to 2 years out.Originally posted by sonomom View Post
Our bronze contribution is $12/year. Our exchange opportunities boards are superlative and range from Last minute <14days to 2 years out. We do both weeks and points and many find it a handy tool.Originally posted by sonomom
