Hi, Meg,

January and February can be tough for TS exchanges under the best of circumstances but with so many units off the grid thanks to that b itch Irma, I think your current approach of seeking a rental might be best. And then there’s the time of year and so many still working on this summers vacations and not thinking ahead about paying their AMFs and depositing next years time.

If it were me, I’d definitely grab a true rental anywhere I thought I might like for 2020 and then devote serious effort to booking ahead for the following year. There will always be the few who make ‘special occasion’ plans way ahead and might deposit early to see them through but the onus is on you to keep checking, and for sure, don’t count on RCI to do the job of finding it for you.
