So, I am about ready to put in my first ongoing search but do have a couple of questions:

What happens if the week requires more TPU than you have - does it still match (maybe you could deposit something else) or does it just not show up?

If there is a match and I decline it, does the search just keep on searching or is that the end of it?

Is there a time limit i.e. would a search still give a match if it was quite close to check-in date or is there a point after which the match is not made anymore (I thought I read someting about that but not sure whether it was II or RCI)?

If you don't have enough TPUs it will not match.

I believe if you decline you will still hold your place in line and it will keep searching. The key with the OGS is you should put in places you really want to go so you don't end up with having to decline.

RCI does stop before hand - I THINK it is about 10 days out, but another tugger I'm sure will come around and correct me on the actual number of days.
