Ooooh I finally found the Platinum button!

I am not a huge fan of the new RCI but I LOVE the different ways it allows me to sort data for ex-ops.

The "platinum" button is all the way down on the bottom of the left column called Priority Access.

Logged on to look for it now. Can't find it. Is it in a specific screen at the bottom left?

I imagine it is only available if u have a platinum membership. And some of us because we have corporate accounts such as HGVC or Wyndham or Bluegreen probably do not have the option to upgrade.

Sigh, just another way for the new "transparent" RCI to hold back inventory from the members.

Yes. Your account must be Platinum to have this feature.

Great find Lawren!

Of course it would have killed someone at RCI to actually call it 'Platinum Access' instead of Priority Access. I mean, why make it obvious, to paying members, what the heck is being referred to! I HATE when companies do that crap.

Anyway, you have to click on a region that has a Platinum available resort (like Mid-Atlantic as Lawren did) in order for it to come up. If you click on say, Rocky Mountains, you don't get the Priority Access button.

I get 13 resorts for the entire USA being offered thru Platinum. Whooppee.

I just checked, and currently see 137 for US. This is what I currently see available for the various areas:

Africa & The Middle East [24]
Australia & South Pacific [47]
Europe [27]
Mexico [42]
South America [15]
USA [137]

[jlwquilter Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close jlwquilter]

Yes, that is what I saw too. 13 resorts with 137 units available. I guess it's good if you need a hotel room in one of the cities, but otherwise not much help for the cost.
