RCI resort ID numbers

I just noticed that some resorts for weeks have A with 3 numbers instead of the traditional 4 number ID. Does anyone know why this is?

They ran out of 4 digit numbers. Probably was easier to keep the format with an Alpha.

Perhaps their computers can only handle 4 spaces without going to bi-weekly maintenance shutdowns.

When you do some online directory searches, you find there's more than meets the eye in the code-numbering system.

There are some R and BB, and who knows what else numbers.

9999 produces the 6 RCI-affialiated Wastegate resorts.

1750, a disaffiliated Wastegate resort, produces several totally-unrelated resorts.

9001 produces a list of 4 Bahaman and one Pigeon Forge resort.

9002 doesn't produce any resort.

There are currently 4,987 RCI Affiliated Resorts, so if it was just a matter of running out of four-digit numbers, that seems unlikely, even in the sleazy world of timeshare developers.
