It appears RCI-DVC exchanges are a thing of the past

Last one I got was in 23 for kidanni. In the early 20's the SSR's were always available, and OKW.
Now I've had OGS for months with no hits.

I thought DVC switched to II from RCI.

Yes, which is why ongoing searches won't work with RCI. Give it another 12-15 years, and Disney will switch back to RCI again.

DVC switched to Interval International in January 2022.

The last of DVC’s inventory in RCI is likely gone and all future inventory now goes to II.

anyone know how long DVC contract with II is for?

I believe it was a 10-year agreement. I think that was the length of the agreement they had with RCI.

Nope. As DVC owners, we are happy to see that DVC went to II, and I wish they would stay with II forever. DVC members will enjoy Marriott resorts in exchange.

I like the trading power I have with my weeks to get DVC. I don't like the games RCI played with the number of TPU's required for a week at Disney. Started out to be an easy trade, then suddenly it required two Colorado summer weeks to get one 1 bedroom unit at Disney.

I did find that using RCI points to my advantage for Disney worked extremely well.

I recently read the DVC disclosure documents; the current contract is through '26. I would expect it will be renewed, but probably not forever. DVC has a habit of switching back and forth every ten years or so. From the current multi-site public offering statement:

The term of the Interval International, Inc. (“II”) agreement begins January 1, 2022
and extends through December 31, 2026, unless sooner terminated in accordance
with its provisions. Neither DVD, DVCM, DVCHMC, nor II is obligated to renew the
agreement when it expires, and DVD, DVCM, and DVCHMC make no commitment to
renew or extend the agreement.

I will add that this is one of the reasons I like owning a diverse portfolio, including a dual-enrolled week.

We also own DVC. I was flabbergasted when I got a confirmed search for a kidanni village savannah view ($1200)/night for 105k wyndham points.
It was good while it lasted!

I probably got one of the very last of those Kidani RCI weeks---I stayed in it last February/March. It took a while for them to exhaust the pending exchanges.
