RCI Exchange thought

[Dean]

It's likely been this way since the change to RCI from II, but I hadn't noted it until today. DVC recognizes 3 levels of exchange demand, LOW, MED & HIGH. Under the II exchange option, Blue and White times were generally low rather than MID. The peak seasons that were red were HIGH BUT many of the red time options were actually the MID level even for high demand locations like HI. From what I'm seeing now, ALL red time with RCI would be considered HIGH time trading out with DVC. I haven't checked with DVC directly to see if this is truly accurate. This would be a somewhat significant, though not dramatic, increase in the number of points required for many exchanges. Others may have realized this already but I hadn't until today.

My timeshares exchange weeks and I noticed that the "trading power" was different depending on the time of year. For instance, a 1 BR had a trading power of 48 in May and the beginning of June and jumped to 52 later in the summer(I guess when schools are out and traffic is much higher).
