Those old hands at RCI know about VEP, Vacation Experience Profile, or something like that. RCI won't let you see stuff with VEPs way off from the resort your account is based on.

Turns out that THE Club and II do a similar thing. Although as discussed above, we're not sure what resort qualifies as what category until you compare the point values. The news is that online with II, THE Club members are not offered 'Select' resorts. To get them, whichever ones they are, you have to call THE Club where they will tell you that a Select resort may not be up to THE Club standards and will then book for you.

This may explain why I never see anything below premier when I do an online search. Although I have been surprise by what resorts qualify as "premier". Granted I've never felt that DRI/Sunterra resorts were anything special but there are some resorts with I.I. that require premier points online that are definately a notch below DRI/Sunterra. At least IMO. I haven't been to that many DRI/Sunterra resorts so I could be in for a not so great surprise at some point in time.
