Last Call vs Extra Vacations

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bootleg,

On the off-chance that you will see and can reply. I have also posted over there...

H 2 / 2 Partial 04/29/2006 $373.99

Why aren't these in Last Call for $129/week with check-in dates as soon as 4 days from now?

This is just one example out of many I could ask about.

I would prefer if BOOTLEG answered this one folks. I can see the obvious answer for myself but I want to see what RCI's stance is on what used to be the 45 day window vis a vis Last Call and Extra Vacations.

Last Sept. we went to Missouri on our own timeshare and we were hoping to get a last call in Branson for the next week. Sept is busy, but not top season in Branson. WE never saw one last call in Branson but we saw extra vacations and trades up to 3 days out. I checked several times a day.

Not surprised but Madge posted over there to a few posts in the "Ask RCI" forum but did not reply to my query.

In light of the current litigation, I am not surprised that a response was not forthcoming. I think anything which might be included in the litigation will be responded to even more guardedly than before.

last calls

I just checked Last Calls for June and saw absolutely nothing for any of the destinations..no availability anywhere. Yet, extra vacations has tons of availability. Pennsylvannia had 0 Last Calls and 7 for extra vacation. Florida had 0 Last Calls and 52 extra vacations. I didn't cross check the other locations in Last Call, the 1st 2 were enough.

maybe a VEP issue I see 25 Florida Last Calls and 11 for Pensylvania in May.

But this is more than what I have been seeing lately. Nothing in the northeast though...beyond PA that is

DUH no I see nothing in June either.....

I see the May ones, quite a few, but not June...maybe it's too soon?

I have been looking a lot lately for a friend for a Caribbean week. Very little in Last Call, and what's there is only 2-13 days out. Everything else is in EVs. And the week she finally decided on was an EV, even though it was only 10 days out.

Still, she was happy to get it (a week at Paradise Island Beach Club for $435), and I was happy to help. So RCI will continue to be the exchange company I love to hate, but can't seem to give up. Yet.

June is the beginning of high summer season

June is the start of summer vacations. I predict that last calls will be listed only 2-3 weeks ahead.

Last summer was the start of LC and I do not believe RCI knew what they were doing. They shoveled everything into LC. This year I believe they will be more selective.

There are very few places that are low season during the summer when school is out.

Maybe the desert but even that probobly gets taken if everything else is gone.
