Madge, I am wondering and fairly concerned about what happens to someone's ongoing search when RCI makes an online offer of a different resort, that is to say not one asked for in the search.
Specifically what happens is that I have a far-in-advance request in for some specific places, but every once in awhile I find that there is a unit (from the same geographic area as defined by RCI) on hold, waiting for my rejection or confirmation. (To be clear these are not the resorts I am asking for in my search.) This has happened 3 times in the last two months. I have never been asked nor asked to have these alternatives provided online. They have been of lesser quality and the geographic area in question is huge so these alternatives aren't really near where we want to go.
I don't get an email saying this is happening and it can be a few days between checking. So when my account is in this state and if a unit from the resort(s) I do want is deposited by an owner, does that mean I am out of the running for it because there is this offer of another place being made to me? Is my search then stopped until I reject it?
I certainly don't know why I don't get an email or a phone call saying there is an alternative place for me to look at when this happens. Does RCI assume we "live" online?
If my search is indeed frozen while this is going on, that would be a bad thing.
Hope you, or anyone else, can illuminate.
