  • Head For Your Storm Shelter, and Stay Away From the Windows

    RCI will be temporarily closed for business over this coming Sunday, as we launch exciting new benefits for our RCI® subscribing members.

    In order for us to upgrade our systems, RCI.com and our call centers will temporarily close for business to minimize any possible disruption to you.

    Our call centers will be closed on Sunday, April 15th, 2012 only.

    Also, RCI.com will be unavailable between the following times:

    From: 9:00pm EDT Saturday, April 14th, 2012
    To: 8:00pm EDT Sunday, April 15th, 2012

    We will resume our normal business hours on Monday April 16th, 2012 at 8am EDT. If you have any urgent travel issues, please feel free to contact us prior to the closure. When we re-open on Monday, April 16th, we expect higher than normal call volumes so if the matter is not urgent, we suggest that you call later in the week. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you.

    We hope you know that we are always working to improve your membership experience. We look forward to sharing exciting news in the near future about new benefits and online enhancements which will help improve your RCI vacation experience-Because your vacation means the world to us®.

    Sincerely,

    Hmmm. There is the e-word again. ''Enhancement'' which is an Orwellian term of corporate newspeak that really means the opposite of its apparent meaning. It means customers are about to get screwed. Airline frequent flyer members cringe when they hear or see it as they know it means loss of something for members.

      1. To provide more income.
      2. To make up for declining exchanges and membership.

          Up sooner than planned.

          So far I see we can sort various ways and a trading power range for the resort and available weeks on the front search page. Also how many reviews and ratings.



          Anything else?

            Nicer graphics and pictures but the speed is really slow. Hope that improves.

              The little round unit sizes do not copy & paste from the search page and must be gotten from the detail page. More work for me.

              It will take me some time to get used to the new pictures, I usually scan by sight. Now most of them look different.

                Obviously, they did it all for you.

                    My default is "Show all available RCI vacations". Maybe yours is too.

                        I've seen very few 60s asked, outside of The Manhattan Club, but one of them was at Mass-o-nothing, VA.

                          Was it a 4br? Thats only 15TPU's per BR, seems like a good deal to me!

                            A little delayed light went off>>>I'm gonna go see if it means anything:

                            All Available:

                            All Deposits [171,521]

                            Jan-2012 to Jan-2014 [168,510] 11

                            Apr-2011 to Apr-2014 [171,531] 8
                            - - - - - -
                            Matching Deposit:

                            All Deposits [106,302]

                            Jan-2014 [105,678] 11

                            Apr-2011 to Apr-2014 [79,248] 8
                            - - - - - -
                            So, that's how it's done!

                            An 11 will get 62.7% of all available exchanges in it's timeframe, and an 8 will get 46.2% of all available exchanges in it's timeframe.

                            So, the average exchange is not much above 8 (I can think of a few reasons why that is). I guess that says something for my Slimey Sloughs, though.

                            Hmmmmm!

                              Its very possible that 'all vacations' is all within your membership period, but the weeks associated to an '8 tpu' deposit is from their time frame
