I'm still seeing nothing for GC.
If the reservation system is as bad as everyone says, can you imagine the "wait" times from folks trying to book by phone...?If you want to be able to sleep tonight don't check out the reservation system. The aggravation will have you up for hours.
For those who are able to get into the site, I discovered a secret to finding availability. In the booking area, Once you choose your resort, choose your dates. Find any available unit, click on book it, then when the system asks for your name and email, back out of that screen, and the availability of ALL units for those dates at that resort will display. If you are looking at an area, say Myrtle Beach, you will get ALL availability at ALL resorts in that area. I just did Myrtle Beach and picked an available date. Used the trick above and got availability at all four towers at ocean Blvd, the cottages, the villas, seawatch, towers on the Grove and westwinds on one screen all types of units from one bedroom to 4 be prez..
I wonder what happens with cancellations? I cancelled the smallest unit available at a resort, in order to shrink the reservation down by day, but it never came back.
Everything I searched has no availability also.well it has certainly been picked over. Whatever inventory was here at the beginning of the week is gone. I needed two nights at bonnet creek to bridge a stay and there's nothing consecutive. Shameful that I pay them $1000 a month. #dissappointed

This week has been like a Black Friday sale
The security guard wouldn't let us in. While standing at the door. We hear people going in and coming out talking-
1. The store is well stocked with inventory
2. Customers are finding those high demand items that haven't been available in months
3. Those items that haven't been available for months are door busters at half price
4. Loyal customers that have purchased high priced items in the past were granted VIP. Their walking out with 100 inch TVs for the price of 60 inch TV that was already on sale at 50 percent off
We finally get in to find the empty store. No rain checks available
I can't see where my account is any different. Looks just like the Pre View site and what I seen briefly Saturday. Don't know about my point buckets.
It's nice to have access to something you OWN after being locked out. Very upsetting to be locked out of your ownership when you had absolutely no involvement for any of the possibilities for locking you out. I think they finally unlocked a bunch of us last night so they could just go home
Would love to see no availability at this point. What number did you call to help with your account. The VIP number I call will not transfer me to owner care or any one else.
This is one time to give Avislo credit.
Call non VIP number 800-251-8736 ext 3 ext 2 Owner services
I have been in direct contact with OC via email for months.
Exactly my point. They released a bunch of us without correcting anything. All they accomplished was upsetting the apple cartSo as far as I can see, it doesn't like Chrome. There were no hyperlinks to launch RCI.
I have two member numbers listed. My name is on three different contracts with someone I don't know. I wonder if I'm VIP. Lol
This is important because booking a 1br expecting an upgrade to a 3br is NOT going to happen.

You might be right on the auto upgrade only going up 1 bedroom size.So, I am currently at this moment on the phone with owner care who is telling me that under the new system/rules only a 'next larger unit' upgrade is available. There is no 1 to 3 or ever 1 deluxe to 1 presidential but ONLY 1br deluxe to 2br deluxe.
So:
No upgrades from size "1br" DELUXE to size "1br" PRESIDENTIAL. (to 2 to 2 or 3 to 3)
No upgrades from size "1br" DELUXE to size "3br" DELUXE
ONLY:
upgrade from size 1br deluxe to size 2br deluxe (or 2br to 3br but no 1br to 3br)
upgrade from size 1br deluxe to size 2br presidential (or 2br to 3br but no 1 to 3)
Is this what others have experienced?
This is important because booking a 1br expecting an upgrade to a 3br is NOT going to happen. This also impacts the 'exact' match we have all been discussing with regards to what will trigger an automatic match.
Ronit seems to me, booking anything, expecting something else, is not a reasonable thing to do. You really ought to book what you need.
Helpful hint from Facebook user Lisa B. You can get the same kind of result by searching for the exact dates but you have to keep trying different ones till you find a date that works. This way you can find a date for say a 1 bedroom on the calendar and go back and see what other ones are available.
