On average,<br />
more than 12,500<br />
<strong>RCI</strong> exchange holidays<br />
are confirmed through<br />
Ongoing Search<br />
each month.<br />
As many as 50%<br />
of holidays confirmed<br />
in an Ongoing Search<br />
occur within 12 days<br />
of opening the<br />
search.<br />
UNDERSTANDING YOUR BENEFITS<br />
Think of an Ongoing Search as a<br />
waiting list for the holiday you want.<br />
When you start an Ongoing Search,<br />
you can tell <strong>RCI</strong> where you want to<br />
go and what ranges of dates you<br />
can travel and set unit configuration<br />
preferences. Then <strong>RCI</strong> will<br />
continually search its systems-24<br />
hours a day, seven days a week -<br />
for holiday options that match your<br />
selected criteria.<br />
As new deposits come into the<br />
system, <strong>RCI</strong> checks all Ongoing<br />
Searches first to see if there is a<br />
match before those deposits are<br />
available for anyone else to book<br />
through regular search on <strong>RCI</strong>.com or<br />
through the Call Centre. It’s just like<br />
when a table opens up at a restaurant;<br />
a party with a reservation will be<br />
seated before a part without one. It’s<br />
also important to start your search<br />
early because one of the main factors<br />
determining where ‘in line’ you are is<br />
when you began your search.<br />
An Ongoing Search lets you control<br />
your holiday search without having<br />
to manually search again and again.<br />
You can periodically check the status<br />
of your Ongoing Search online - that<br />
way you can let <strong>RCI</strong> know right away<br />
if you want to book a matched unit or<br />
continue searching for something else.<br />
If you’re not placing Ongoing<br />
Searches regularly, you could be<br />
missing out of some of the best<br />
holiday exchanges <strong>RCI</strong> has to offer!<br />
DID YOU<br />
KNOW?<br />
When setting up your Ongoing<br />
Search, be sure you have enough<br />
Deposit Trading Power for the<br />
week you’re interested in, and<br />
find out what your dream week<br />
has historically traded for by<br />
using the Exchange Planner on<br />
<strong>RCI</strong>.com. If you’re searching for a<br />
holiday that is in demand or that<br />
typically trades for more Trading<br />
Power than your deposit is worth,<br />
consider combining deposits to<br />
improve your chances of getting<br />
the holiday you’re looking for.<br />
