Does anyone know why the hgvc portal was never updated to match the upgrades made to the main rci system?

Recently I find the hgvc portal more glitchy then the main system.

I’m actually glad they never did. The “main system” is so bad compared to the old one. It’s much more difficult and cumbersome to search in the new compared to the old. I would wish they would roll back to the old system for everyone.

Wyndham's is exactly the same way. It never got updated either.

Same with DVC.

Maybe RCI are afraid to lose the business from hgvc, dvc etc if they give them a sh.... product. The one we have now is imo decent it works, easy to use. The new one not so much.

And this is why people differ. I find the new system so much easier to search for just what I want to see, and considerably more stable when searching booking. To me, this is a tremendous improvement.

Well, except for the part where they separated the HGVC and bHC buckets :)

Cheers.

Because its just a layer (presentation tier) that the different partners do not want to share in the cost of updating. RCI is not going to foot the bill 100%.

IT Systems n-tier architecture.
