Liz Wolf-Spada TUG Member Posts: 2011 From: Wrightwood, CA, USA Registered: Dec 2000	posted 01-29-2005 11:11 I did some online searching today using a week I need to use up by 8/06 and wanted to start some ongoing searches, but didn't see that as an option. Thanks, Liz IP: Logged

Registered Dec. 2000 Registered: Mar 2002	posted 01-29-2005 11:18 On the results page, if there are no availabilities, at the bottom one of the options is to start an ongoing search. Enter an Ongoing Search Begin a New Search Since I have not done an ongoing search since rci.com began, I clicked on it. Unfortunately that only starts an ongoing search for the search you just did, so I think I see your dilemma. I see no way to start one from scratch online. ------------------ TUGboat Captain Blank Blank Credentials: >15 years timesharing/>75 exchanges/multiple weeks/long-time independent TUG contributor/Branson-Table Rock Lake boat rides Areas of Knowledge and Interest: Timesharing:Buying/Selling/Renting/Donating/Exchanging/Searching/Resort Management/Newbies/Florida(>30years)/Kauai/SOCAL/Colorado/Missouri/Arkansas/ Iowa/Ohio/Florida Other:Finance/Law/Real Estate/Consumer Advocacy/Estate Planning/Priceline/Hotwire/Sports/Boating/Fishing/Golf/Lake-living [This message has been edited by JLB (edited 01-29-2005).] IP: Logged
Madge TUG Member Posts: 3568 From: Carmel, IN Registered: Jan 2003	posted 01-30-2005 17:28 Liz, You should be able to start an ongoing search online. You can also do direct searches for alternative availability using an active ongoing search. If there is a unit holding, you won't be able to do any more direct searches until the unit is released. Where are you encountering problems? I wasn't quite clear from what's been said thus far. ------------------ ~ Madge IP: Logged

It just wasn't there. Thanks, Liz IP: Logged

Jim, This is not correct. You can pick up a deposited week, search for availability, and if none is found, you can initiate an ongoing search. The requested dates must be more than 30 days away. ------------------ ~ Madge IP: Logged

Liz Wolf-Spada TUG Member Posts: 2011 From: Wrightwood, CA, USA Registered: Dec 2000	posted 01-31-2005 21:03 OK, I think I see what my problem was. I was pulling resorts, just not any I wanted and I had done a general, not resort number search. So, if I had put in specific resorts and was unsuccessful, then I would have seen the option to start the ongoing search. Is this correct? Thanks, Liz IP: Logged

Registered Dec. 2000 Registered: Mar 2002	posted 02-01-2005 06:29 Just what I was thinking, and trying to pin down, that you may have to do a resort search rather than an area search. You would probably want to anyway. quote: Originally posted by Liz Wolf-Spada: OK, I think I see what my problem was.
