[Q=theodoref18] Thank you for the information - I will hear more today being Monday i can call and ask around a bit - But the lady had spoke to did say (not that i trust here as gospel) but she said if you book at least 45 days in advance then you have 100% chance of booking at another resort- They gave us a pretty thick book of places all around the world (Called Vacation Village Resorts And Affiliates (Flexibility for a lifetime of vacations) - Also we plan on going mostly on Low traffic times / off seasons - We plan on keeping this time share at least long enough to Test it out and we will test it out here in the Dells soon because we live close by the dells so it will be cheap - (No Air fair needed) But if we get burned we are willing to let it go back to them and bail on it - Hopefully with the bankruptcy option -[/Q] You have a 100% chance that you will be able to book another resort at 45 days out, just not necessarily the resort you want. Some resorts only have a few deposits all year. Most of the larger VV affiliates have 100's if not 1000's of deposits in the RCI system. The larger ones are Vacation Village at Parkway (Orlando), Grandview (Vegas), and Massanutten (Virginia). The Weston Florida resorts have a fair amount of inventory year round as well. The $149 and $219 prices you are quoting are for exchanges through RCI. You get no extra discount on last call inventory to afilliates. Last Calls are rentals and they are $219-$300 ish depending on size although RCI fairly frequently has sales bringing the prices down to $199-249. You can not rent exchanges or last call rentals out. The only thing you would be eligible to rent out is your deeded one bedroom unit every other year. If you reserve your unit for yourself or to rent out you would have nothing to exchange for 2 years and would only be able to use extra vacations (rentals in the $300-2000 range) and last call rentals for your own person use. You can give them to friends and family but rci's terms prohibit rental of inventory you obtain through them.
