HGVC inventory in RCI

[alwysonvac]

It’s RCI through WorldMark’s portal.

I’m sure if you ask the question on the TUG exchange forum someone would be willing to look it up for you on their non-corporate RCI account.

OK, that's why it wouldn't let me log in since it's a WorldMark RCI page... I'll ask on the regular exchange forum and see if others see different HGVC end dates. Tahnks.

What's the difference between rci.com and b2b.rci.com? When I tried b2b.rci.com (is this some site that rci uses to sell inventory to businesses rather than timeshare owners?) it would not take my usual RCI login..Would they have different inventory here? I could see RCI selling the HGVC bulk deposit weeks before they offer them to regular RCI members..and that would explain how the week I wanted in November suddenly appeared when I did the ongoing search overnight - they could have taken it from the b2b.rci inventory..

www.rci.com is used for regular members of rci to login.

b2b.rci.com is used by HGVC, DVC or other mini systems which have an exchange agreement with RCI. You would normally need to sign into HGVC and from there you click on RCI. That will take you to b2b.rci.com and do a SSO.

b2b is business to business, a standard industry term for these portals.

Note that they use the older RCI designed web interface vs the new RCI “improved” site, but that shouldn’t affect visibility of the inventory.

Some of us remember when there was no online HGVC access to RCI.
You called and they would only tell you what they wanted you to know.
It was like walking 10 mi. to school in the snow and it was uphill...
both ways.

FWIW...With the $25 per night resort fee on HGVC through RCI plus the RCI exchange fee, it is not beneficial for HGVC owners to book HGVC via RCI in Vegas anymore with the cost of MF/point that needs to be added.

Really, only if you have run out of HGVC points to use does it seem worthwhile to do RCI exchanges in with the $25 a night resort fee. Plus, in addition to that there is a $25 "resort amenities fee" which appears to be per week. Not sure what you get for that since you're also paying the $25 per day "mandatory daily resort charge".. So adding the two together brings you up to a $200 per week junk fee..

That's pretty much the way it worked back in the day with RCI... Before the class action suit where we now get points in the weeks system, all you got was a one-week exchange if you were lucky. If I were really lucky I'd get a one-bedroom or two-bedroom unit somewhere we wanted to go in exchange for our summer-week studio unit deposit from The Blue Whale in Oceanside CA. If I reserve a summer week now and deposit it into RCI I will usually get in the neighborhood of 50 tpu from RCI for it which gets me multiple weeks in Vegas and most other places. I like the current RCI system much better than the old school RCI system. I sure RCI does too since they might get 2 or 3 $239 booking fees from me each year instead of just one.
