Getawayweeks is working today and rciredemptions isn't rci isn't showing anything for anywhere for me.. and getaway is

I tried the getawayweeks and they wont let me go back June 30 or July 1 09? Do I have to wait for a few more weeks to find the end of July?

Has anyone actually used the certificates and completed their stay when they did this before? I'm just REALLY nervous about trying it out, but it would save us SO much money!

I just stayed June 8th - 15th. There is nothing to be afraid of with these certificates. Only thing is that they may not have exactly what you what, where you want it, when you want it. Like I wanted something closer to Universal Studio's that was going to be at least a 2 bedroom. I ended up in a 2 bedroom for the week I wanted but it was 15 miles away. So you have to take the good with the bad. If you travel off peak (which mine was not), you have a much better selection. This is not the first time I have used it either.. just my most recent stay.

On the website do they have a list of the properties that are involved?

I am not sure how you are working the calander arrows but I just got June 30th 09 check in to July 31 09 check out.
The outside right arrow will change the year to 09, then the inside arrows change the month. Move the inside right one to make it July.

yes and no. You have to search for the time frame that you want. You can check on rciredemption.com which is the site that SkyAuction reccomends or Getawayweeks.com You can search now before even purchasing. Thing is with them, inventory changes all the time, what is there now, may not be there later...and visa versa. Also, closer to your dates sometimes you get a better selection, but not always, it depends on the season.

Thank you!!! I will try that....btw your daughters are beautiful (well I assume they are your daughters..lol)

I think the blowout deal ends tonight. I was thinking about buying two more, but I already have 2 left from the ones I purchased in December! I really have to travel during peak time since I work for the school district. I am thinking of maybe doing a week when we have a long weekend in Oct & using on of my certificates then. Last year I did that but I didn't stay the entire week. My DH stayed & I came home with my DD. My DH's golf buddies came up and stayed & they had 3 days/2 nights of Golf fun This summer is the first I have had a major problem getting exactly what I wanted during peak season. I have been doing SkyAuction for years. It seems there is less inventory this year than previous years. Either more people are using their weeks or more people are purchasing SkyAuction and using those weeks either way, I had a tuff time getting something for the week I wanted. I am now looking for something for July 26/27th week... my older DD wants to be in Orlando for the Tamp Bay Buc's training camp I will do Universal while she watches the Buc's


I stand corrected, the blowout deal ends July 3rd. I guess I still have more time to decide if I want more certificates...

Okay, we bought 2. Now just waiting on the certificates to arrive so that I can book our weeks!

 

[spiceycat]

We have to travel, when school is out. I checked a few locations we're interested in for school holidays, & June/ July 2009 & those dates are either not applicable or nothing comes up. I'm afraid to purchase a certificate in case we can't use it. What do you think? Should we purchase one & take our chances? Obviously, I've never used Skyauction before. TIA

I too have to travel when school is out & have them. I have done it. This year is the first year that I did not get exactly what I wanted, but I still got something. If you look thru this thread, you will see me talking about this exact thing I would buy one and take my chances.. you will get something, maybe not exactly the unit you wanted or the exact place you wanted but you will get something...
In fact, I still have 2 unused certificates from when they had their December Blow out sale & I am debating on purchasing 2 more ...

Thanks for the encouragement. We don't really have a destination in mind. We'll probably want something on the east coast or south, but not Orlando. Do you have any experience with which destinations are usually easier to get?

I am so close to pulling the trigger and buying two of these, as I'm pretty flexible with our dates for this fall (and it shows availibility). I've never stayed off-property, and I'm nervous! But it's so so CHEAP! What to do, what to do....

I don't my nephew (who is using one I brought for him) is going to North Carolina in Dec to ski.

instead of Orlando - my DB (his father) was so upset...

they were plenty up North.
