it dawned on me this morning that I hadn't seen Arroyo Roble come up in a while. There was almost always buckets of the place...not any more.

It looks to me like the good old days of TIMESHARING of vacation time between members of an EXCHANGE CLUB are a thing of the past. Timeshare resorts are now built for the benefit of the developers mainly at our expense so renting may be the smarter thing to do. This was a resort I would have liked to have exchanged to for a stay at in Sedona.

I guess RCI made more off of rentals there.

While not a place I am interested in, I see too much of that pattern elsewhere.

One of our favorite resorts...boohoo.

Well it's frustrating! We have been to the Arroyo Roble several times, and there was never a problem getting a trade...there is definitely something hinky here.

oh and Morritts Grand? You can cross that one off your exchange list too. ALL those units have completely disappeared. *POOF* Vanished into thin air.

You can still get Tortuga.

Perhaps I haven't be paying attention lately, but what exactly does "exchange fee only" mean ?

Is this because it is a Points resort?

I'm new to RCI & TS4MS so pardon my newbie-ness.

Arroyo Roble is an RCI Points resort. Maybe it converted from weeks to points recently and the previous availability is from before it was a Points resort?

I am seeing a few units in points searching with points, but seeing nothing in week when searching with week. So, maybe it is possible that now you will needs a points account to see this resort???

At this moment in the time continuim it means you have a deposit that will get that trade for just an exchange fee, as opposed to also available via Last Call or Extra Vacation. It is a very interesting way of phrasing. We had seen very, very briefly, during a glitch, a few disenhancements back, a button for exchange fee + $ and I definately see that on the horizon. That is not necessarily a BAD thing. Many indies charge an upgrade fee for unit and/or season and I would endorse something reasonable. HOWEVER I've seen some things which are certainly NOT kosher and given RCI's habits of running roughshod over their members.....this is probably going to end badly.

Anita Maybe....the push to points is something that is all profit for the ever insatiable RCI but I doubt it. Morritts is not a points resort and it is gone. MOST points resorts also dump weeks exchanges into the system so they can sell points to weeks owners.

The only thing that now makes me think differently is how absurdly hard a weeks trade is into Manhattan Club (a points resort).

I wondered about that - glad u verified it was a disappearing act and not just me.
