Relation #: 00062 Unit: n/a Interval: n/a Max Occ/Priv: n/a Booking Start Date: 25-Jan-2010 Booking Expiration Date: 01-Jan-2011

You can only see units with 45 days, but it's a rolling 45 days until the end of the year.

OK that's pretty cool! Thanks.

What is triggering these weeks to apear in accounts? Leae it to RCI to do something that has value to members but not explain it!

I didn't get such a week. I last deposited weeks in October during the $35 promo - which I fully used and was happy with.

I don't see it as a big deal. I phoned RCI yesterday and was told the transaction fee is US$194 or Canadian $209 for the complimentary vacation and I show 8,000+ vacation options.
In last Call vacations there are 30,000+ vacation options albeit that there maybe a $30 - $50 saving on the transaction fee with the complimentary week. The majority in the Caribbean, where I would prefer to go are in the Dominican and have the added cost of the All Inclusive package. I really don't see to much to get excited about??

It's designed to unload last minute inventory. If you know when to look, you could snag a decent last minute vacation. For $179 for an online trade, I can get a long weekend on the California coast for $60 a night. If I had the vacation time, I would stay the whole week for $26 a night. I would bet you would have no problem getting a week in the Caribbean in April or May once those dates fit into the 45 day window.

This is the first time RCI has given me anything that did not have limits on where I could travel. In the past I have had about a dozen 'one plus one' weeks where there were about 4 to 6 areas I could choose from and I was not interested in any of them.

All I'm saying that there are 30,000+ vacation options on RCI Last Call with a 45 day window, whilst there are 8,000+ vacation options on the complimentary list, with the same 45 day window. The only difference is a $30to $50 saving on the cost.
But then if other people see this as a good offer then great.

I've got four of these!!! In addition, the website is incredibly slow and times me out...geesh!

My last call list is a lot smaller than yours.

485 Resorts (5095 available units)

January 2010 [878]
February 2010 [3,093]
March 2010 [1,124]

The comp week shows 8800+.

January 2010 [1508]
February 2010 [5121]
March 2010 [2184]

I'm not saying it's anything great, I'm just doing the apples to apples thing.

I don't get any. Does anyone know how, what, who will get one?

[105547111]

What are they?

I got 3 that I can use (used one already) and a 4th one that I need to call to use online.

Has anyone been able to call and activate the extra one?

At first I thought these were extra 4 weeks in the certificate you get with some sites.

But if they are rewards for depositing (last year in Dec I depoisted 4 single weeks) why is one held and you have to call to activate online?

Does any one know?

[Dori]

Waa! I didn't get one either. PeelBoy, maybe it is not avaiable to us Canucks! I think I will call to ask.
