Sorry to jump on your thread but how early do you shop for points to rent? We are going in April but my parents are renting a villa for all the family to stay at. Our next trip will definately be on site and I would like to stay on site at a deluxe hotel. I hope to go to see Christmas decorations but I'm not sure it will happen in 2009 ( i can dream

) So if i'm looking at down time between thanksgiving and christmas when should I shop for points if 2010?
