Skyauction questions

[lizziepooh]

When checking availability on Home and Away auctions (www.rciredemption.com) is there anyway to check unit size availability? I see the resort names and info, but not unit size.

Am I correct that the Ready, Set, Go auctions pull from a different inventory of available units?

The resort vacation certificate I purchased thru Skyauction in November says to go to www.getawayweeks.com for availability. Is that yet another source of inventory?

I'm just trying to figure out how this all works. Thanks for any clarification you can give me.

Not 100% sure on this since www.rciredemption.com is brand new to me, but I think this is how it now works:

1. If you won an auction that included a 7 night resort stay and were given a 9 digit code and a 1-800 number for getaway weeks, you use the getaway weeks database and 1-800 number to book the 7 night resort stay.

2. If you have won a 7 night resort stay recently you will be given by skyauction two different codes. Both of these codes must be entered in www.rciredemption.com prior to being able to search and book your 7 night resort stay. Prior to having the code you can view some availability but to a MUCH lesser degree then www.getawayweeks.com. You will be able to get an idea of what resorts will be available to a 3-4 week time span but will not be able to identify exact check-in date, unit size unless you enter both codes (that you will be emailed form skyauction after auction win).

3. Ready, set, go. Have never used this auction type so not sure of this database. From looking at it in the past, it was pretty similar to getaway weeks inventory but sometimes a little better properties/unit size.

I would be interested in hearing fro anyone who has used www.rciredemption.com since it looks like this is the way it is going to be with any new 7 night resort stay auction wins on skyauction.

I am also wondering if you win one of the new type auctions (with the www.rciredemption web site being listed), can you still call the 1-800 number for getaway weeks and simply book with them??
