Maybe week 26<27 in RCI?

I deposited a week 26 at IPV that is 7/2-7/9/10, but seem to be getting only so-so trade power. Might the computer be looking at the week # and not the actual dates, in which case a week 27 might trade better? I can still switch my week for deposit.

How long ago did u deposit - did it make it in before the 1 year mark?
A few years ago, RCI did BAD things to my IPV deposit - one week was sooooo much better then the other.

I have always been able to deposit IPV at the 10-8 month mark and get a good trade.....others report it is still trading well.
I own week 29

Reserved it today and deposited today, 1 year out. I initially deposited a week 28 a couple of weeks ago because I was told that was what I purchased on ebay. It turned out to be a float week even though deeded for week 28, and the resort did not confirm the validity of the deposit, so it got denied by RCI. During the brief interlude (3 days) that the week 28 was in RCI, I was able to pull more weeks (155K instead of 153K) and about 500 Hawaiian resorts instead of 250 now with the week 26. RCI has been so erratic that it is hard to discern if this is a real difference between a week 26 and a week 28, or just a different phase of the RCI enhancement. Maybe people prefer to go to Yellowstone later in the summer to avoid late snow?

I think what you are seeing is all there is to see. Unless RCI has changed my trading power since last week, my strongest week which was seein 155K is now seeing 154K and about 260 in Hawaii. I think that is all there is right now.

I think I will switch my deposit to mid-July and hope for the best.

The better weeks I have available show slightly more for the full July 09-July 11 window, but close enough that it could just be time-variation.

153.4K/291

The best week I can search with only goes to June 11:

154.3/317

I am convinced. Total 152.5K, 261 Hawaii only 17 minutes after bnoble's post. RCI has clearly refined exchange opportunities at the upper end of the range, especially Hawaii X-ops.

They have ''refined'' more than just Hawaii. Inventory in warm season in England is getting real scarce. Back when I had an OBX blue week, it would see MUCH more in England than a prime summer high demand / low supply resort in northern Europe sees there now.
