Even though we did a 2 year search we didn't comfirm until 8 months out.Hi everyone,It is my understanding that it would be a rare thing for people to bank their weeks that far in advance. Most people are waiting until the last 3 months or so.
If it is rare that people bank that early then there isn't going to be anything in the system to exchange. usually things start showing up at the 9 to 10 month mark, so if the search is looking for something more than a year out, it is too early to be getting many if any exchanges.
As the time gets short the selection will get much better. Still, since you banked so far in advance, you will be given a high priority as far as what is offered to you.
I did the same thing for an Hawiain exchange and heard little until about 9 months before. Some people I met bank every year and keep refusing what RCI offers them until the last minute to get the best gold crown resorts. They say it works everytime.
