For everyone having trouble keeping track of the newly instituted expiration dates, the Worldmark Forum over at www.wmowners.com has just released a totally FREE software to manage it. Very cool!Someone has reported it works well with their HGVC and I imagine it should handle FF too. Here is the notice from the website

You voiced a desire to have a tool available to assist in tracking credit expiration data, vacation history and account information. With the help of several volunteers from this site, we have attempted to build a tool that would do just that!
We are proud to introduce the WM Owners Credit Manager!
This tool is being provided to you free of charge and was built, of course, BY OWNERS, FOR OWNERS!
This tool gives you the ability to:
- Independently track credits in your account and their expiration dates* Keep track of historical and upcoming reservations
- Maintain your own log of how you believe your credits were applied to reservations
- Export the data to an Excel spreadsheet for further analysis or printout
- Use the built-in reservation calculator to calculate earliest booking dates and/or earliest check-in dates for the various types of reservations
This tool is a work in progress and we would appreciate your feedback and suggestions. Please limit your conversations regarding the manager to this forum so that we can easily monitor your suggestions and make corrections and changes as needed. The software and installation package have been tested on typical installations of Windows 2000 and Windows XP. No testing was done on older, obsolete operating systems such as the Windows 95/98/ME series.
To download the WM Owners Credit Manager software click here
(some browsers may require you to right-click the link and choose Save Target As)
NOTE: This file is just over 10MB in total size. The download will take 1 or 2 minutes via DSL/Cable, but could take over 20 minutes via dialup.
To view the documentation for the program, click here: ]http://www.wmowners.com/CreditManager/
Please note that this is a standalone program and once installed on your system the Credit Manager is completely local, and all information is stored only on the owner's hard drive and it is free of spyware. None of your entered information is ever transmitted over the internet or back to the wmowners.com website. This is a FREE tool designed by owners and cannot be used for any type of information gathering or invasive purposes.
This is yet another example of owners helping owners and how YOU continue to develop this one-of-a-kind site!! Many more things are in the works so stay tuned.....
