Has anyone ever gotten an AP rate at a Home Away From Home Resort?

Has anyone ever gotten an AP rate at Old Key West or any other Home Away From Home Resort, and what was it? I am looking to go in July and my first choice resort is already booked.

TIA

we had an AP rate at OKW for our March trip.

the per night charge was $277 I believe, I'll have to check my reservation sheet when I get home.

Wow, that is more than I thought. I was hoping for a studio to fall around the price of a moderate. I guess I am really wrong.

Last year I was trying to get AP rates for 10 days at the Polynesian and that wasn't availiable so my travel agent said I could do a split stay- my options were studio at Beach Club Villas or AKL.

I remember AKL being more expensive, but that's where we stayed. I remember the studio at BCV was cheap w/the AP rate.

it was for a studio and it was more than I paid for the Poly in December (bit of a seasonal diff too). Considering I was not sold on the resort itself I switched.
Have you looked in to renting points? You can get a great deal usually during the week from what I understand.

I did look into renting points but they really kill you on the Friday and Saturday stays. I thought of cutting off a night to fit it within our budget but then I also have to rent points for my parents and I would probably need to deal with 3 different people, a lot of trust there. We were planning on staying 13 nights. The process sounded confusing to begin with, I thought it may be easier with an AP discount but of course you have to wait and see what is available. I really wish I could just get beyond this stage already.
