RCI rules question

[Dean]

Thanks Dean. I have enough to bank for a 2 bedroom high season and a 1 bedroom high season. Wish our trip plans worked out this year, but they didn't, and I don't want these points to go to waste. If I were to rent out some, it would most likely leave me with an odd amount of points. Right now they fit perfectly into the RCI 2 bedroom and 1 bedroom high season criteria (for lack of a better term). Now I'm just left wondering if we can snag an EXCELLENT resort option with them through RCI.

I'd rent out what you can even if it leaves odd sizes. However, it sounds like you're coming up on some deadlines (practically if not technically), if you are going to do this, go ahead and do it. Then IMMEDIATELY start planning how you're going to use them. Put in an ongoing request for any and everything that is acceptable. Start the searches with the ones you know are OK for you to accept, then add as you feel more comfortable with other options.

I agree with you, but there does have to be availability for MS to deposit an actual week into RCI so maybe the CM just didn't see a week anywhere in the time remaining in the use year of the member's points being deposited. (Sorry for awkward sentence, there, LOL). CM should have said that, though rather than quote a rule that doesn't apply.

The CM was clearly referring to the rule applicable for cash type exchanges. However, as I noted on this or another thread in the last couple of days, it is my understanding that there does need to be a week that can be reserved with points within the UY of the members and that fits the season in question (Low, Mid, High) which is what I believe you are referring to Carol. Home resorts rules also apply but are irrelevant in this situation due to the shorter lead time. Still, if you don't cut them too close, I have every confidence DVC will find a way to make it work in such situations.
