I posted this on the sightings forum as well, but I thought that I’d give HGVC members a heads up! One of these dates matched my OGS, but RCI did not put it on hold for me. :mad:Luckily, I am obsessive about these things and check for myself daily, sometimes multiple times (both a good and bad thing!) :D

Thanks for sharing the intel! These are listed as points. An OGS only matches with weeks. Checking frequently and following the "sightings" is how to catch point deposits.

One of them listed above is "RCI Weeks", or am I reading it wrong?

I guess that is what I get for looking over them quickly. One of them is weeks. So the question for the OP to know if her OGS was working correctly is if the one that matched her search was points or weeks. One wonders why they don't create an OGS to work with points -- maybe RCI likes having the site traffic?

I didn’t realize that there were RCI points vs RCI weeks. Why are some classified as points and others as weeks?

were RCI points vs RCI weeks. Why are some classified as points and others as weeks?

Basically RCI started with one program and added the other program later.

RCI started out with the RCI WEEKS Program. In 2000, RCI launched their RCI POINTS Program. Some resorts offered RCI POINTS via a paid upgrade option.

As a result, some resorts only participate in one program either RCI WEEKS or RCI POINTS. And some resorts participate in both programs having a mixture of RCI POINTS and RCI WEEKS.

For example, WorldMark decided to only offer the RCI POINTS program with developer purchases. Resale owners only have access to the RCI WEEK program. Of course, they grandfathered their existing WorldMark owners when they made the rule change.

RCI also has a mix of developer/resort deposits and owner deposits.

NOTE: Some resorts also have dual affiliation with RCI and Internal International. When this occurs, we sometimes see more deposits available in one exchange company vs the other.
