This is really interesting. In my post last week I showed you the amount of timeshare weeks RCI made available to me from my 4 banked Whistler weeks. Here they are:
Year Size Unit # of Weeks Available
2008 4/2 131,072
2008 6/4 136,512
2009 4/2 106,616
2009 6/4 106,616
=================================
This week RCI shows even more availability:
Year Size Unit # of Weeks Available
2008 4/2 131,194
2008 6/4 136,718
2009 4/2 107,995
2009 6/4 107,991
=================================
So my older banked weeks show only slightly more availability but my newer banked weeks show about 1,300 more timeshare weeks available in RCI. This makes sense because, like I wrote in my Feb 5th post, January through March is “Exchange Season”.
Even though there is more availability, when I did a quick search today I noticed that there were fewer premium weeks and resorts available than last week.
I really like this new feature in RCI but don’t be tempted to take your second or third choice when searching this way. If you do see what you want, grab it and put it on a 24 hour hold immediately or it will be gone. Let’s hope that Interval International will be doing the same thing soon.
