What time of day does RCI availability appear?

[seema]

I am asking the analogous question to the person asking this question about II?

Note, I am not a RCI member, but I am considering become one. I have been a member of II for over 20 years. The answer to the above question may have an impact on my decision to become a member of RCI. For example, can one do a search online for possible RCI availability, just like one can for II? I understand that one needs to deposit the week with RCI to do the online search - that is not always the case with II.

At least that's our experience in waiting for the latest offerings in the Last Call & Instant Exchange categories -- i.e., bargain rates for reservations made within 45 days of check-in.

Yes, you have to deposit first in Weeks to be able to search

If you are looking for availability that is NOT "last minute", then this inventory could be added at any time of the day. It has been suggested to put in an ongoing search if you are trying to get something specific and continue to search online also.

You must have something on deposit to search RCI. But, once you do, you can search inventory yourself. There is no specific time of day when new inventory is loaded; it can happen anytime.

Is that true for weeks and points owners? I am new but I was under the impression that weeks owners couldn't search online like points members?

Weeks owners can most definitely search online but you must have deposited a week with RCI to be able to search with it.

That is somewhat different that Interval (II), which will allow you to search with your week before actually depositing it.
