Nothing new for me yet. Of the two freebies I got earlier in the year, I redeemed one of them for a stay in June. I still have the other one but it hasn't been extended yet. No new ones either.

I have, like, 40 bazillion. None of them will be good for anything, unless I want to go to the desert in July or August, apparently.

July 4th week in Palm Desert Marriott studio is tempting just to get out of town for the holiday, its like a war zone in my neighborhood with all the illegal fireworks.

Out of my two, one was extended to Oct. Seems that all the Mexico offers have high mandatory AI - not a good deal.

I just checked - there are some nice resorts in Mexico being offered with it that are not AI

Mom and Dad got two in one of their accounts (Stormy Point in Branson) but not in the other (Lakewood at Lake of the Ozarks) and I don't have any in my brand new II account. I think Mom and Dad are getting ready to use one of the $289 ones for a week in late April for Branson. Great deal for a 3BR!
I saw that your parents own at Lakewood. I owned there for twenty years but they were not part of II

Which ones? I looked in Cabo and Cancun only. I do see Lagunamar (where I would love to visit) however I don't know if Aug and Sept are decent given hurricane season. Would like to go there Nov or early Dec.

They are now part of II as well...just in the past year, I think. Dually affiliated.

I have one that expires in February. I've never deposited...so this must be a "just because!" First one for me!

Ahh...you finally broke down and got an II account I see! Yes, these are what I call "freebies" you get them for free - you don't have to do anything to obtain: no deposit, no getaway purchase, etc. But, you do have to pay an exchange fee to use them, sometimes taxes too. Still a great cost for a week vacation. Mostly shoulder and offseason - but there are some incredible LM gems to be found too!

Yes, I got an II account over Christmas break. Panina explained that I didn't have to deposit my weeks to access the getaways/etc. I am working on Vet's Day weekend at present. $100/night is our threshold, and the AC would come in at that price. RCI hasn't had anything yet...no sales to speak of. Still haven't booked Labor Day yet either. Time's a tickin' on that one!

Same for me. I now have a total of 5. Too much travel booked in 2019 to use them!

These two new ones that expire Feb 20 have pretty decent options as far as ACs go. A good deal of options in Colorado starting third weekend in November, which should be the time they open the slopes. Plenty of other less famous ski areas in the winter too. I'll definitely end up using at least one of these if not both, giving one to a friend or family.
