How successful have you all been booking last minute?

I keep looking at the last minute RCI points reservations and the listings seem wonderful! If we are flexible about where we go, it looks like we could go TONS of places for 7,500 -9,000 RCI points. Is this just a September off season thing? Can you find last minute places in the summer or is it slim pickings?

Luckily we have time in December, March, and May to go vacationing (plus summer of course) so off season IS possible for us.

How much luck have the rest of you had with last minute and last call vacations? It looks like such a deal!

If you did some homework and a search for LM in RCI ex-op forum you wouldn't be asking that question.

No, what I mean is... I know the LM opportunities are great right now...for late August and September bookings. But what about other seasons? Will I still have choices if I want to book during a high season like summer?

The LMs were run every day all the way back to the end of June. So yes. Summer is there. I don't normally do these in mud seasons. Takes too much time.

I think that it would be fair to assume that if the pickings are good during the summer, they are likely to be even better, off-season.
Yes, I have had a number of very satisfactory LM exchanges through points.
