Hours a day researching?

Does everyone else spend hours and hours a day trying to find something in RCI?

Is it just because i'm a newbie? I feel addicted to this process..

I almost don't want to find something cuz then what will I do?

Does anyone have a solid strategy? Exchange, Extra Vacations, Last Call which to choose?

It's a whole new world!

Not everyone but the true junkies are in there each day and I'm one of them. Every morning, every day, for as long as RCI has had an on-line search capability.

The end result is you either buy more timeshares that are excellent traders, find really cheap weeks to get the last minute deals at a bargain or get a points account to also take advantage of the last minute deals.

I'm guessing most of us are addicted. We search every day for that great exchange. I would def. go for exchanges before Extra Vacations. Last Call might work, if it works for you.

I understand when you write that you don't to want find something cuz then what will i do. There is a Royal Mayan, in Cancun for 2010 waiting for me in RCI. It would be for my son and his friends. It's the week my wife and I go every year with other friends (Royal Caribbean). It is the only and same week available. My son has committment issues so i don't know if i should grab it.

I know exactly what you mean. I search RCI every day, even when I don't need anything. I even check for weeks that I have already booked, just to see what I may have missed. How pathetic!

Enjoy your "addiction" and continue the quest!

My name is Pam and I'm a timeshare addict!

ROFL... I so feel it! My husband feels like he lost his wife!

I have been checking DAE and II but I can only look at Bonus weeks and getaways.. I already deposited my week with RCI..

Did I mention I check ebay for more timeshares to purchase? I just need another one with low MF...
