In June of 2019 I placed an ongoing search for Divi Aruba Phoenix using 26 TPU's in RCI. The search is for a 1 BR in July of 2020. I have other TPU's but I would have to combine them if I needed more to snag this July week. My question is: How do I add additional TPU's to an already ongoing search so that the number of total TPU's are increased? I do not want to cancel the search and start over nor do I want to call RCI and try to explain to a service rep. what I'm trying to do. I'm afraid they will mess up my search and it's very important to me to get this week cause it's a wedding gift to my granddaughter. Help and suggestions are appreciated.

As far as I know, those are your options. You could *try* canceling, combining, and reinstating with screenshots of each and then emailing them to ask them to backdate the new search to the original one, but I'm not sure they will do it.

I agree. There is no way to do what you want to do online by yourself and there is no guarantee that someone will do it for you. You can't combine without cancelling the ongoing search nor can rci. You can't backdate your search. RCI can do this but may not because it isn't something that they advertise that you can do. You may want to talk to the online person and ask if they can do it for you. I find them a little better than call in reps.

I just did this and a helpful rep saved the search, combined for me then readied the search and made sure the original date was there
