Madge or Bootleg, can't remember which person, said the 1-in-4 rule DOES apply to extra vacations at some resorts. The specific example given was Mayan Palace. It was suggsted we call the specific resort in question to see if the 1-in-4 rule would apply. Why that is OUR resposibility escapes me. I think that every resort that applies this to extra vacations, last calls, or regular exchanges should be duly noted in the RCI online resort description page. All it would take is one sentence similar to, "This resort applies the 1-in-4 rule to both regular exchanges and Extra Vacations." I don't know if the rule applies to Last Call vacations.
