I am about to buy 1st TS. One of the selling points was Last Call/60/45 Day "Escape Weeks" that were priced on the example pages we were shown at $99 to $199.

After looking at posts here it seems the "Escape Weeks" inventory is not what we thought and it seems RCI is not user friendly. We are not buying solely to get access to "Escape Weeks" but it is a large part. Could some kind sole give us a reality check on what we can expect fromthe "Escape Weeks" program? It's life expectancy? Thanks in advance

George,

Extra Vacations is an ongoing program that has been part of our exchange program for decades. It offers additional vacation opportunities without your having to exchange your timeshare weeks. You simply pay the exchange fee, which can vary dramatically depending on the resort, location, or date being offered.

Last Call is a pilot program that is currently being tested in North America. It has been extremely popular among our members and it is likely to be around for quite a while. However, it is still being reviewed, refined, and revisited in order to determine it's overall impact to our business.

Let me know if you have other questions. If you need help with your account, you may send an e-mail to feedback@rci.com and enter TUG in the subject line. The Communications Team will be glad to work with you.
