How frequently is the RCI Directory online updated? Also, do you plan to put the Hospitality feature on the Amenities as are the GC and RID?

Madge, do you know the answer to my questions? Thought maybe you were off on vacation and hadn't logged into to TUG.

Related.

We've had ours 2 years.

Confirming and paying for an exchange recently I asked for a new one and was told no, twice.

Some here have suggested RCI has it out for me.

Do you?

If I can't have a new book, can Jenny?

She has never written a letter to Ken May.

capekong,

I addressed the question of a new directory here.

However, you may request another copy of the existing directory. Please send your request to feedback@rci.com and enter TUG in the subject line. The Communications Team will be glad to send you one.

Sorry, but I believe because of my intervention you missed the original question, which relates to how frequently the ONLINE directory is updated.

capekong,

The online directory is updated continually as the need for corrections or additions is identified.

I'll check on plans to add the RCI Hospitality emblem and let you know.

And now Elaine comes along and says they just got one in the mail, a 2005 Directory, I believe.

Elaine, when do you received your last one?

It gets confusing.

bummer

I just called to try to spend money on an Extra Vacation. There was an option to order ($15) a Directory, so I diverted over there.

The Guide told me if I have a yellow book there is nothing newer. They will be replaced last 1/4 2005 or first 1/4 2006.

What color is yours Elaine?

I guess that meaans there hasn't been a straight answer yet and maybe Madge should do some more checking.

I've also received my 2005 RCI Directory today. Cool!!

Btw- my last RCI book was yellow, also. Does this mean everyone is getting the new book or what?

The plot sickens.

Some are getting one. Some aren't.

Are there now more than one level of "subscribers", other than those who own and those who don't?

Or maybe this is one of the owners v. exchangers thing.

OK- I have a Blue Points Directory that says "Edition I" on the spine, which I think I got in early 2003. I got a small red supplement catalog about a week ago. So is the Yellow one newer and perhaps Edition #2? What about the red/purple one that HOP mentioned, is that Edition #3?? Maybe we can tell by the Edition numbers.

My "Edition 3" arrived today... I am so disappointed in this new "directory"!

For every other continent other than North America, there are no pictures, no detail, just a list. There aren't even any maps with little dots to show unit locations!

The 2005 resort supplement includes a few overseas resorts, with a reference to a map - that doesn't seem to exist.

Madge - is there another version (which will be mailed to members who reside on other continents) that would be available for those of us who want primarily to travel outside the US?

capekong,

The RCI Hospitality emblem does appear next to the corresponding resorts in the online directory. You can check resorts 2608 and 0160 as examples.

To clarify some: The yellow book I was referring to earlier states Edition 1. My red book that I've just received states, "Edition 3". Hey, what happened to my Edition 2?

bigeyes1,

Had you requested another copy of the yellow directory issued in 2003, in 2004, you would have received an updated version that included the 2004 supplement. This version of the 2003 directory was identifed as Edition 2.

bigeyes1,

Actually, unless the directory is updated completely, as it was in 2003, we would not automatically reissue it the next year. It is provided to new subscribers and upon request for purchase.
