I was told by a friend that it really varies, based on occupancy/timeframe. Low occupancy lower rate; try to redeem in. high occupancy or special event time it will be higher. No idea if that's true, but my friend has seen rates of $55 to $151 (currently) for Family/Friends depending on date. FWIW - it wouldn't surprise me if Rev Mgt does Explore beyond the 3 mth.

Cheers.
