Got an email that they will be down until Monday morning....or was that just the member service office that was closed?
I deleted it.

That's 6pm, EDT, for those of us who live in other time zones...

Yes, I stupidly didn't get a copy of the number of weeks I could exchange into before the outage. I've a rough idea, but not an exact one. I'm sure the new enhancements will mean fewer choices...

My rough idea comes from searching every day, sometimes several times. Even for much of the 12 years before disclosure I recorded the numbers that were important to me.

Since that thought has now cropped up, JFTR, yesterday my big number was 146K-ish.

Let me ask one more time, here, why is do you think that everyone's big number was lower after 5/30?

Doesn't sound good.

I was talking with a resort manager on the OBX Friday and mentioned the info on the new Weeks semi-points system they seem to want to impose on us. It was the first she had heard of it, but then she mentioned she had noticed an email concerning trading power in her in-box that she had not had time to read yet, and that maybe she should go back and take a look at it. With this new extended outage of the website, I wish now I had asked her to look at it and let me know what it said while we were on the line.

Is the current "maintenance" the implementation of the changes referenced in threads and first reported last week regarding the future transparency (or lack thereof) of weeks deposits/trade power ?

RCI always closes down the website for a long weekend in April. They have been doing this for many years. It's nothing new. I think they also do one in Oct.

One would think that they are going to prep at least the resorts and probably the members, rather than just going cold turkey, but who knows?

True, but they do not always have as much voodoo up their sleeve, which makes this maintenance more suspect.

I believe your words would have applied equally to the website enhancement of 5/30/09, and look what that did.

My words, too.

Sorry to have started this again!! I didn't bother to read the info that it would be down until 6PM, thought that it would be up Sun AM like usual after maintenance and that it was just another glitch.. Oh well!!!

It's back!

As of 4:13 CST, RCI is back up. Anyone see anything major?

As someone who uses statistics for my research on a daily basis, I am sure that you do not know that "everyone's" big number was lower after 5/30. Yes, those of us who are whining and complaining on these boards have lower big numbers, but that's probably because we are a biased sample. We are the ones who bragged in the past about getting better quality weeks than those we deposited. That was a totally unsustainable situation.

If someone with a high quality week, say Manhattan Club (almost any time of the year), also reports that their big number reduced after 5/30 - or 30/5 as the rest of the world writes it - then I would say that yes there is an issue.

I posit as an alternative explanation that those with low quality weeks have seen a decrease, and those with high quality weeks have seen an increase and have not been reporting it for fear of a "correction". Admittedly, this theory is not thought through to the extent that other contrived and conspiratorial theories have, but still it may have merit.

Oh, my! I hope they're not done yet!

I probably jumped the gun looking right away, but all sorts of stuff I saw two days ago in RCI Points is gone. Wow. Trying to exercise patience and not assume too much
