Re: Bad Experience with RCI (by KC):

I agree with Mike, when I make a trade I do it 1 to 2 years in advance and am not picky. I usually ask for several locations (i.e. for next Christmas I asked for VT,Canada,MA,Wisconsin Dells,VA,PA) and usually always search with 3 or more locations and a wide range of dates. I got Hawaii this year while calling and checking on an ongoing search and said "Do you have any unit in Hawaii anytime in the next 2 years?" I got lucky and secured a week in August of this year. Oh, I am also using a studio, blue week for all of my searches. I do have friends that have complained and when I tell them to do it this way they are usually rather successful. Before my friend would ask for a specific place and specific resorts and search within 3 - 6 months from travel dates.
============================================== I'll be very interested to see what you have to report on "successes" a year from now, as the RCI world is changing rapidly and dramatically. I'm willing to bet that your blue studio won't get you diddly this time next year. Yesterday's paper does not contain todays' news.....
