Last night i checked the RCI Last call (points) and for the first time in almost a year - i saw that the Caribbean was available. When i checked I am seeing over 30 places available for April and May! Granted that most of the is the DR and St Martin - I have never seen this much (even DR) - I wonder if well see some Barbados again. I know there has been alot of talk about last call availability here on Ask RCI.

Madge, did you have a word with the good people in your office ? Or is it because we hit April? Did they fix the website? Anyway i think its a good start.

Is that TUG Rules or TUG Rules! ? :D

Someone reported seeing one of the MIAs in my Jan in SW FL search, yesterday morning.

Could it be an April Fools joke, and those who found stuff will find that out today?

Improved Availablility

I think Madge has be talking to her folks - I've noticed since last week that all the Caribbean places that come up in 45 days show between 8000-9000 points exchange - there were problems with that recently. Also last call for the Caribbean shows in the 40's + and places are available in less than one week - i don't think i've (for example 7th april thats this Saturday) ever seen that on RCI's website. Although more than half of it is DR - you are getting better DR and some decent NA places. Also the Last Call availability drop down list is much bigger.

I think they listen, and respond to things we say here, sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad.

But, in my lengthy attempts to deal with stuff like trading power, what folks are able to see and trade for, I have never seen any evidence that anyone there is able to influence any of that, or that many even are privey to that sort of stuff and how it works. I could say more, talk about my experiences with different folks there for hours, but not in an open forum.

I'm moving this thread to Exchanging since there is no question for Madge in here.

What do you call this:

"Madge, did you have a word with the good people in your office ? Or is it because we hit April? Did they fix the website? Anyway i think its a good start"

YOU may not think this is a worthwhile question but understanding why there is sudden availability and how RCI makes these decisions is important
