Why does our vacation time fall through thr cracks?

[yooperfan]

We alway vacation end of January/ beginning of February. We live to far away to be able to swing the airfare more times during the year. We have AP's, so that's nice for room discounts, when available. My problem is, we always have a bounce back card in our room, but they aren't available for a year from our current trip. They expire Dec. 31st. So, there is never a time our vacations qualify for bounce back. It would be so nice to know I have a room discount earlier in my planning. Oh well, maybe someday they will make it for up to a year from current vacation.
