Author Topic:   same old...same old Carolyn TUG Member Posts: 868 From: Indiana Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-04-2005 06:30                When I first joined Points about 3 years ago I saw many different Caribbean resorts on the Weeks side that I had never seen in my Weeks account. In the past 9-12 months, I am seeing the same resorts over and over in my Points account (Weeks side). Does anyone else notice this? BTW I am constantly checking the RCI website at all different times.

For some resorts in popular areas, that is the only way you can ever get them. ------------------ Owner since 1996 (a paltry one) TUG member since 1997 IP: Logged Carolyn TUG Member Posts: 868 From: Indiana Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-04-2005 16:40                Since I joined Points I have booked some excellent resorts that were just sitting online on the Weeks side. For example, a 3BR GC on Sanibel in January, 2 BR Embassy Poipu in January and a Week 52 Ciboney in Jamaica, just to name a few. I am online way more than I would like to admit and have not seen any real "keepers" for a long time. Can you put in a request for a Weeks resort on the Points side? Thanks.

We bought a points resort because we were unhappy with trade power with our weeks resort. When we first bought (year and a half ago) I was amazed at the choices. Now, there are lots fewer, and the same ones over and over as you mentioned.

It is under "Why so few RCI sightings?" Carolyn IP: Logged philemer Moderator TUG Volunteer Posts: 2558 From: Idaho-God's Country.

Carolyn If you are talking about an 'ongoing search' I don't think it is currently available for Points members. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The search was not visible online. I had to call a VC to start it. Sheila IP: Logged Roger TUG Member Posts: 1621 From: Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-06-2005 11:42             I believe you can do ongoing searches for units in the Weeks systtm, but not in the Points system. (I did one several years ago, for a white week of all things, and had success.) ------------------ Owner since 1996 (a paltry one) TUG member since 1997 IP: Logged
