  • Do you accept every resort that is listed in the directory?

    Mark

    I was looking through the directory and was VERY suprised to see Inn of Silvercreek listed. Don't get me wrong - I personally love the resort but I am really suprised that it is up to your GC standards.

    Many of the units are studios - but they do have what the resort calls a B unit and a BL unit which is a standard hotel room joined to the studio or studio/loft. In addition, the resort is in the process of upgrading the kitchenettes to full kitchens but I was there last month & they are far from finished.

    I would be interested in which weeks & sizes you are accepting.

    Chellej - thank you for your post. Actually no... we do not accept every resort you see listed in the current Beta Test 1 model of our new directory. There were a number of resorts that were imported into the system from a quickly drafted database, as part of the Beta Test that need to be removed. This removal will take place next week. Every resort listed as of next week will qualify for SFX.

    I would like to mention, although a number of resorts will be removed... there will be a number of resorts added.

      Sorry if this has been asked before, but how do you make the decision on which resorts to accept? Is it based purely on RCI GC and/or II 5 star ratings? If so how often is the database updated.
      I ask in part because my home resort seems to move between GC and SC with some regularity. For example it was GC 2 years ago, dropped to SC last year and is back to GC this year. The RCI directory still shows it as SC although we were advised at the resort AGM on 1st November that it has regained GC status.

        Hi Keith - a very good question. Our decisions are not always based upon the ratings designated by other exchange companies. There are other factors. Like everyone else, we don't always agree with certain rating systems. Sometimes there is a very "thin line" between a "4" and a "5"...

        So other factors are considered. One consideration is, what is the Demand vs. Supply for the area? London for example... a resort may be a solid "4", but the location without question is a solid "5"... tiny supply and overwhelming global demand !! Of course we would accept the deposit, as it would provide a great overall vacation exchange experience for a Member.

        If it is in an area where there is a huge over-supply of space and an abundance of GC and Star rated resorts... that could be a different story. Hope this helps...

                      Mark - I have a fixed week 13 at the Orlando International Resort Club. Would a week like this in Orlando qualify for deposit in SFX? Thank-you, Ernie
