this 2015 post by CPRich where he said that we can book 50 (perhaps 51) weeks in advance. Further, he said that Marriott opens up space every Saturday for an additional week at a time. That would mean that we see the furthest dates available on Saturday, Dec 29. 50 weeks ahead would take us to 14 Dec 2019. Who has better intel on this?
Your scenario was what was confirmed to me. The important date is booking by 12/31/2018. It doesn’t matter when your stay is as long as it is bookable by that date.
I just booked 5 nights at StR NYC in May and will probably book at least one more 5 night stay at a different future Cat 8 for 2019 before the end of the year. It’s just too sweet a deal to pass up. The same 240000 5 night stay cost the equivalent of 390000 points last March.
Just need to study the list and come up with a game plan.
