I have been reading a lot about RCI's one plus one on this board. Can someone tell me what it is? Is it only for weeks or points? I have not heard anything about this program. :confused: Thanks.

tanguayc,

You can read about this program in the Ask RCI FAQ's. Please note that pricing for One-Plus-Ones is now variable; however, it will still be fairly close to the prices listed in the FAQ's.

Do home resorts qualify for one plus one?

I recently exchanged back into my home resort in New Hampshire. When I asked why I had not received a one plus one, I was told that confirming back into your home resort did not qualify.

Is that true? If it is it should say so in the FAQ. If it is not, how do I go about getting it?

The guide (whose name I have) was rude to me and refused to let me speak to a supervisor. I find it hard to believe that any VC is authorized to refuse to allow a member to ask for a further explanation.

Susan,

Even if the targeted One-Plus-One resort confirmed is your home resort, you are perfectly eligible for the One-Plus-One. I'm so sorry to hear how you were treated. Members are always entitled to speak with a supervisor - any time they ask. If you are refused, demand it, and if the Guide disconnects your call, by all means call back and request a supervisor immediately to report the incident.

Since you do have the Guide's name, I would appreciate it if you would e-mail what happened to feedback@rci.com and enter TUG in the subject line. I'd like for us to be sure this Guide receives any appropriate coaching or training.

When I asked a VC about a one plus one weeks that is in my account, he told me that they were very hard to confirm (use). Is this true? I also asked him which resort put them into the account (the resort that I traded or the one to which I traded), trying to figure out what the trading power might be, and he indicated the issuing resort was the resort that I traded. I thought that is the one plus one weeks were generic weeks from RCI, like a gift certificate that I got a few years ago for going to a 'talk'. Which is right? How is the trading power for such a week determined?


Also, recently, a RCI rep called me on the phone and told me that I had two weeks about to expire, so I should us them before they expire. When I told her that I could not use them she suggested that I extend them for 3 months for a fee of $59 each. I appreciated the reminder and have used one of them. It turns out that the other was a one plus one week. Are they eligible for extention of 3 months at the $59 rate?

wise one,

Trading Power does not apply. One-Plus-One is a program offering surplus inventory. It will offer units only where there is extremely plentiful availability.

You may extend One-Plus-One weeks for the standard fees if you wish.
