I haven't searched RCI for awhile: how do I filter out short stays and exchange plus? I just want to search for 7 night exchanges - period.

I have found I can filter out a lot of the Exchange Plus by using the room size filter to be a 1 or 2 bedroom size. Since most of the Exchange Plus units are just hotel rooms they get eliminated. I always click on length of stay to be 7+ nights even when looking for just 7 nights and still occasionally get a 5 night stay in my results. I wish RCI would hire some competent IT people!

If you are searching through rci points, you can sort by resort ID . All of the exchange plus will be at the back. The 3 and 5 night (weeks inventory stays) will also be toward the end of the list. If you scroll through and start to get to them you don't have to continue scrolling through the rest.

RCI weeks does not give the option to sort by resort ID If you filter by resort award, it will get through all of the exchange plus. It will of course get rid of all the standard resorts which may be a problem depending on the area you are searching. Since the exchange plus are hotels and not timeshares none are RCI reward rated.

With RCI weeks I can filter out Exchange Plus. After I start the search and the results come up there are boxes on the left. Un click the Exchange Plus box.

I just tried this on my tablet and I'm not seeing that option. You may need to be on a desktop computer.

On my desk top, it isn't an option. At the top there is a single check box for exchange and exchange plus. Lower down there is one for exchange plus but unclicking it will show exchange and exchange plus. If you click on the box it will filter out the exchanges and ONLY show you exchange plus.

When you get a chance go to Florida other and then the Keys with the exchange plus unchecked and see if it shows any resorts or just shows exchange because that is the only 11 exchanges available.
