I think you'll be in fine shape Lakegirl. From the start of Estoppel to points in your account is ~45 days. Worst case you're looking at end of May to be in a position to book, so ~3 months before your stay. As long as you aren't super picky you'll get something.
For us, we had 455 SSR points way back from before they built SSR, and we sold out several years ago. Just now jumping back in and I am in the process of acquiring two 200 pt AKV contracts. First one (which should close next week) has 400 coming in August (200 banked). The second we are just getting ready to send to ROFR, is 200 banked from 2013 (need to be used by 9/1/15, and 400 coming 9/1 (200 banked from 2014 + 2015 pts). My best shot at a trip yet this year is during the last two weeks of July and my preference would be to use the 2013 banked points, but I won't have the ability to book until ~ 7/1 if the current timelines hold.
We'll be driving, so we're pretty flexible on arrival and departure dates ...... so I am probably chance it, wait until I get the second contract and get what I can for 5-6 days in the end of July, then sprinkle in a trip to the beach for a few days (Vero or other). I'll use the 2013 and maybe borrow a few if needed. Then for next year I am going to have somewhere around 800 points to use or rent (1200 if we borrow from 2016).
