It seemed like very late in teh year last year, well after the 11-mionth window fro mid September before they cam out fro 06.
I loved my trip, though. Just got back alittle over a week ago and the wait for points was worth it!
In my frustration, a wonderful CM gave me a rough guesstimate about how much points usually incfrease or don't each year, so I could base things on that a bit.
Good luck! Hope you see them soon!
