Stuck in an RCI OGS match loop/1 in 4 rule preventing OGS?

It's Groundhog Day! I've released this match 5 times and RCI keeps matching me to it. I can't seem to edit my search because 2 waikiki HGVC resorts have the 1 in 4 rule and I already have a match for the week before. I'm going for a consecutive week, so why won't it allow me? The RCI rep is having a heck of a time as well. Has this 1 in 4 rule changed with HGVC to be an umbrella like GPR resorts?

Well, the RCI rep had to re-enter my search in a "different system" to get it to over-ride the 1 in 4 resorts. I still can't edit it online though (she put in the wrong year, sigh. I have to call back).

It's interesting (and concerning) to me that an OGS match would continuously happen though. If one does a OGS for a general area and date range, you might get stuck in a loop for a resort you want to throw back.

That loop always happens to me whether its a specific resort or a general area. Just happened today with a general search. This time I was able to change my ogs to not include the specific date, and in a day or two I'll add it back. Last time the match kept happening too fast for me to change. The RCI rep had to eliminate the matched resort from the search.
