1 in 4 rule

[ArthurN]

Thanks for the heads-up. I was actually looking to get around the ridiculous 1 in 5 rule for the Grand Mayans. It seems like SFX gets a pretty healthy dose of those weeks.

 

[lprstn]

You can forgo "1 in 4" rule if you get it as a Extra Vacation or rental, sometimes those are pretty reasonable in price. I got HGVC for one of my trips as an Extra Vaction during Thanksgiving and paid only $399 for the whole week.

 

[ArthurN]

Are you kidding me?@!!%

Can anyone confirm if Mayan resorts enforces "1-in-5" rule for Extra Vacations as well? Did a preliminary search and transaction simulation for Grand Mayan Acapulco on Extra Vacations and the dreaded 1 in 5 rule appeared in Urgent Information section. So am I to assume that this resort would rather let a unit go unoccupied in lieu of accomadating a repeat visitor? What about owners who have contracted with the Grands to rent their ownership week. If I was owner with such an arrangement, I would be pissed to find out they were turning away willing renters.

This is exactly how I feel about the resort we were just in on HHI. There were definately empty units there this past week, so if I want to go the same week next year, I would not be allowed to even if there were available units.

 

[JLB]

Precisely what fueled my angst, having been there the same week 6 out of the 7 previously years, and there were always a number of unoccupied units.

And, yes, I understand the difference between unoccupied units and deposited units, but, still, there we were, repeat visitors willing to go.

So am I to assume that this resort would rather let a unit go unoccupied in lieu of accomadating a repeat visitor?

I own Grand Mayan and Mayan Palace and received an e-mail alerting me that all Extra vacations would be canceled. I had a booked trade in with RCI and was scared that it was included in the canceled notice, however it was my first and only trade-in through RCI and it was not an Extra vacation so it didn't affect me.

I don't know about there being extra rooms not being used though. It seems to me that they tend to over-book rather than have extra space during prime season. Of course I'm sure that there are many times throughout other seasons that they have space because I've been offered an extra week for just a maintenance fee. However, when I call they're always all filled up already.

I have met too many people that traded a one or two bedroom TS to get into a Mayan Palace hotel room because that was all that was available.

It makes me wonder where SFX and RCI are getting these weeks. Are they all owners last minute cancellations? The Mayan group continues to build and expand all the time, maybe these rooms are for RCI and SFX?

Mayan "1 & 5"

Called RCI because I have a reservation at the Mayan Sea Garden (6633) was told by RCI that the "1 and 5" rule as of 2/19/08 does not apply to the Mayan Sea Garden so if I was to book another week via "Extra Vacations" or "banked" that I would not get cancelled, but its only if I book before the end of Febuary/2008...as the Mayans are having a special right now. She stated that they get incentatives like these all the time, however you have to ask about them, because they are always changing.

Is there any server space left?

 

[Ann-Marie]

Thanks for the list. Great help.

 

[g4fishing]

Use of a different RCI account?

Went to the grande mayan a year ago through rci. If I book a Mayan week using another person's account (same last name/use guest certificate), is here ant chance of showing up on the resorts system and getting turned away at check-in?

 

[lprstn]

I would say since its not under your name or your account than you won't be turned away. I talked to RCI about this because I wanted to book another week at another Mayan, and they told me that if its on MY account number, and name than I will not be able to stay there. However, they are having a special that has the "1 & 4" rule lifted on the Mayan Sea Garden, as long as you book by the end of this month. (Feb. 08)

 

[normalrog]

Morritts

I have a week at Morritts Grand (Grand Cayman) beginning 01/04/09. I wanted a second week there to make it a 2 week vacation. I have seen somewhere on TUG that extending a 1 week vacation into a 2 week vacation would not violate the "1 in 4" rule.

My ongoing Grand Cayman search snagged a Morritts Tortuga (same company, property right next door to the Grand) beginning 01/11/09, so I confirmed it online and it now appears to me that I have both weeks confirmed. I am quite sure that the rule applies to both resorts collectively.

Whaddaya think? Am I in violation of the "1 in 4" rule? Is this something to bring up with RCI? Morritts? Keep my mouth shut?

 

[rickandcindy23]

I think you are correct, that the stay would be fine because it is two consecutive weeks. Have fun!

 

[socalTSdad]

Something new about 1 in 4

RCI VC told me today that 1 in 4 rule does not apply to RCI points members. I've been a points member for five years know and this is a news to me. Anyone else ever hear this out of RCI?

 

[Ann-Marie]

If the 1 in 4 rule does not apply to points owners, wouldn't that seem a little unfair to the weeks owners?

 

[socalTSdad]

Yes

It would seem very unfair. Just letting everyone know what they told me. The VC is I'm sure wrong. I will call back today and ask another VC.

 

[Bill4728]

Here is the anwser to a couple of 1 in 4 rules question in the FAQ of the ask RCI board.

III. One in Four Rule


A. Does the one-in-four year rule apply to an entire account, or to the individuals using the confirmed vacations? If I send a guest to a one-in-four resort, will I also be restricted?


Typically, the one-in-four year rule applies to an account, not to an individual. If you send a guest to a one-in-four year resort, you will not be able to visit that resort yourself for four more years.



The "One-in-Four Year" guideline, as well as geographic area restrictions, are common among resorts still active in sales. The resorts want to maximize their exposure to new audiences of potential owners. RCI does agree to enforce these restrictions for resorts in our exchange program; however, the rules are created by the resorts, and they can change. We do not yet have programming in place to prevent confirmations from being made against resort restrictions. That is why you will not be given the option to confirm these resorts online. It will be necessary to call and have an RCI Guide double-check for any restrictions that might apply.



B. Does the one-in-four year rule apply to Points resorts?


Thus far our Points resorts have not requested and are therefore not enforcing a one-in-four year rule for Points transactions. However, when Points members confirm Weeks exchanges, they are subject to the same rules as Weeks members. This includes the one-in-four restriction.
