Looking for RHC Paris June 2010 - willing to swap....

[GrayFal Silver Contributor and supermoderator Find all posts View Profile Close GrayFal]

..... a Marriott week or other Timeshare stuff (Wyndham/Starwood/Ireland/Cape Cod)

I own an EOY studio and next year is not my year

I am looking for an early June 2010 check-in at NAPOLEON in a studio (points owners only) or at CITADINES BASTILLE GARE DE LYON (points or weeks owners) in 1BR (a studio owner can pay $160 upgrade fee to get a 1BR here)

Another friend has already booked her European Spring trip thru RHC so I believe the availability is there.

If you have any interest in 'swapping' usage with me, please contact me via PM or email thru this site.

I just became aware of the LARGE, no HUGE amount of points needed for the Napolean - so I am happy to get the other Paris property in a 1BR.

Thanks !!!

I just checked the RHC website and there was no availability in Paris for early June 2010.

Thanks, I heard this from another member. In November 2008 I booked July 2009 so I am hoping I am just looking a bit early.

The up side of this is that someone wanting to 'swap' could put in an ongoing search for me. to get the time when it is first available. I am also going to check with RHC to see if i can accelerate a week from the back of my contract - I believe I read that point owners of a certain age can do this.

I didn't know that rhc has ongoing searches. Is that something you can do online?

As a week owner, I do not have online access - but I was told by several point owners that an ongoing search is possibe....I just don't know how!

Maybe start a separate thread to ask.....

Experience says CITADINES BASTILLE GARE DE LYON is not difficult; I always see availability there. Just searched online. There is availability thru end of April 2010. RHC may release further inventories in a few months, again based on past observation.

Given their lousy customer service, their ongoing search is not reliable. I have read somewhere here that they never get back to you despite your ongoing search.

I am willing to swap with you. Will PM you with details.
