Depends on where you want to stay and the exact date of the reservation. I would guess it is very limited for the 4th of July week but not so bad on other weeks. SSR, AKV, OKW and possibly BLT will have rooms but some of the other resorts may be limited.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Trying to understand this also. I want to add on points in 2015. Our use year is December. We want to add on 150 points at Old Key West. If we add on before December will we get 2014 use year points... to bank right away? Then we would get another 150 use year points in December of 2015? Thanks in advance.

That's correct. But since you can rent points for around $13/point, it seems like a poor choice to pay ~$65/point more to purchase direct and get those points.Trying to understand this also.

My point was not renting versus owning, but the added cost of purchasing direct. If you want to bank those points, I would assume that you don't need them immediately. And, you'd have to go on a wait list for OKW regardless. So you might as well purchase a contract on the resale market and use the money you saved to rent a few points if you need them immediately. You'll still save over $50/point even if you rent some to use now.Personally I would rather own the points to have them until 2057 vs. a one time rental at 13.00. I know you have dues and what not but it works for us.
