Unless I don't know how to work this (which may be the case) for us in the Mountain Time Zone, the Wyndham site reservations shut down the portal to RCI at 9:45 p.m. which means we cannot use deposited RCI points to make reservations in the RCI system after 9:45 p.m (if I go to the RCI site it does not "see" my points deposited through Wyndham. So, it seems that Wyndham is not providing to Wyndham owners the same access (24/7) to RCI booking as non-Wyndham owners. Am I missing something here? Thanks.

For Eastern Standard Time - the system always shuts down at 11:45pm which is your 9:45 Mountain Time. HINT: If you log on through Wyndham right before the system shuts down for the evening and click all of the RCI prompts - to get over to RCI, you can stay on (through Wyndham) way past the shut down time. You can search for vacations until all hours! You must keep searching every now and then, so the system does not log you out.

You are right - with the RCI site and using it directly via www.rci.com you do get 24/7 access except for maintenance periods - shut down. However, you can just use it for Last Call, Extra Vacation or RCI Travel. Unfortunately, you will not be able to use your Wyndham points to book vacations or to do exchanges.

Has anyone figured out a way around this as of yet? Frustrating because I get off work late and I can't search because the site is already closed. I didn't get to confirm my hold to Hawaii and now the site is closed :bawl::bawl::bawl::bawl:. I will have to make up very early before I head to work and hope that nobody has taken that week yet...
