as soon as you have the certificate "number" you can call the getawayweeks venue ( you will also need the "expiration date" to give to the vacation counselor )
the inventory is probably very similar to travelop if not the same pool ( they have invntory that they have to move so it does not matter where it moves from )
as to the question about wait and see....it is always a gamble
case in point we booked a new mexico resort in a two bedroom for next april as soon as we got the certificate, thinking we should book as soon as possible, but upon checking a couple of weeks later they had inventory for 3 bedrooms at the same resort for the same time period..( just out of curisoity, just checked and they still have availability at the resort in new mexico albeit just the two bedrooms now )....you just never know... a lot depends on the time of year and the location/demand of the resort
most of these weeks should not be exchange weeks but rather surplus weeks provided to RCI by the resorts ( this changes all the time, the better resorts seemed to have reigned in their RCI offereings ....thus the changing complexion of resorts from what used to be offered on Skyauction )
