Has anyone else notice that the Caribbean inventory in RCI seems to have dried up? I cant even find a place a year out. I keep waiting each week thinking..."well maybe next week a bunch of inventory will be released"...and nothing. Its frustrating that I can only find a few resorts in Mexico...where did all the Dominican resorts go? There even used to be an occasional Jamaican resort and I cant find that any more either.

A few in S and VA, a single resort in NC, MD, PA, and UT, plus Jamaica and the Bahamas
Are you searching with a particular deposit or searching all available deposits? I think some exchanges have gone slightly up in the last year and what you get to deposit has gone down so maybe less owners are depositing with RCI but there seems to still be inventory if you want an AI.

So have East coast winter ski weeks.
I'm out of RCI as soon as I burn through my remaining TPU's.

Didn't the RCI settlement influence this.

If depositing to RCI there no reason to do it more than 9 mths out now.

RCI pulled a swift one in this area, to advantage their rentals.

Seems we will have to select from what they don't put out for rental, or move to other exchange companies.
