RCI: How to get 2 units, the same week, at the same resort

[Judy]

First of all, does RCI have any 3 bedroom units in Canmore AB? I can't find any.
If I'm right, I might have to book two 2-bedrooms.
So how can I verify that there are two units available in the same resort at the same time, without actually booking one and then hoping that another one will appear online?

I think you might be safer to call RCI (ugh) and verify there are enough units. There is no way of accurately telling from their website listings if there are 2 or 20 units available. In previous years when I was booking 3 units (1 exchange, 2 Extra Vacations) for an extended family vacation I first phoned to ensure that there were enough units available for a particular resort for our desired week. The VC offered to book them for me (at a higher price) but I declined, she assured me there were lots of available 2 bedroom units for the week I wanted. I set DH & DD up on their computers & me on mine, and within seconds of each other, we each booked a 2 bedroom unit at the same resort for the same week. Immediately afterwards the RCI website showed zero units available for that week but within a few hours they were back.

Could you put the 1st one on "hold" and then go searching for the 2nd? If a second shows up then I would assume there is another.
