RCI Comp Deposit?

[patwerner1]

I could not find a thread for this - so sorry if I missed it.
I have an RCI account that is still a 'weeks' version.
I thought I used or booked all my current weeks. Was looking over the confirmation to get all the plans for January on the calendar - and I see I have trading power of 20.

SO when I look at the Deposits I see
Search First Float Beta ETP 20 - Looks like the deposit went in Oct 2018 and expires Oct 2020 and status is 'Available to Exchange'
There is a note with a COMP ID number.

Seeing that the note says Beta I think I was used for a test group - but I could not find any email that made this note. I assume it will disappear after the testing is done - but just wondering if anyone else is seeing something odd.
Note I am not complaining - but I don't want to get excited an plan to use this only to find it disappear.

Putting my Guessing Cap on: I imagine RCI might be interested in offering a Search First product (for a fee, of course), that allows one to establish an ongoing search without having to deposit something. Then, if a suitable match is found, the deposit can be done to secure the exchange.

I have one of these as well and remember getting an email about it. I haven't made a deposit in years and finally burned through the remaining TPU's that I had (well, I had to let two small deposits expire). So they gave me some TPU's to allow me to search, I'm sure. If I want to use these, I will need to make a deposit. They aren't giving us free TPU's.

Here you go - found the link to the other thread. https://tugbbs.com/forums/index.php...it-i-received-this-email.280387/#post-2200583

Thank you for the pointer to the link - with that email I WAS able to find the message I received (but never opened)
This makes sense - I also had tiny deposits expire - but my 'normal' resort typically only has 16-19 so they just upped it a tiny bit - again I guess to encourage a deposit next year.

Thank you for clearing this up for me!
