I have a question about some of the RCI poll answers.

Through my HGVC portal, I can make reservations using my HGVC points.

In addition, I can view Last Call (last minute cash reservations).

I see some people reference Extra Vacations yet I never see those via the portal.

Am I doing something wrong?

HGVC members have access to
(1) RCI Extra Vacation - via phone only (NOTE: My WorldMark Corporate RCI account has online access to this feature)
(2) RCI Last Call - via the HGVC portal or phone (Sorry, I always think of this as a subset of RCI Extra Vacations starting 45 days out)
(3) RCI Open Season - via phone only (RCI Nightly Rentals can be paid for with cash starting 90 days out)

RCI Extra Vacations can also be found on the TUG Sighting Forum - http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=3.
Here are some examples:
