RCI made me money today . . .

In February I booked a week through RCI Points for a 2BR Gold Crown on April 19th. 34,500 points Plus $ 164.00 exchange fee.

Since that time an additional foursome wanted to join our group. I looked today in last call and found another week for 6,500 points plus 164.00.

IF I booked this, my total expenditure would be 41,000 points spent plus $ 328.00. Computing the points easily at $.01/POINT, my true cost would be $ 328.00 plus $410.00. TOTAL $738.00.

I called RCI and asked the VC if he could work me a deal. If I would return the interval back to their inventory, could they return my 34,500 points and keep the $164.00. I would then rebook the SAME interval for another $164.00 but only use 6,500 points.

The net result was that I received two intervals for 13,000 points and $ 492.00 (Original $164 + 2nd unit $164.00 + Rebooking 1st unit $164.00)

Computing the points easily at .01/point. means tha I received the 2 weeks for $492.00 plus $130.00 in points (13,000 x .01). TOTAL $ 622.00.

RCI made an extra $164.00 and I saved $116.00.

I was warned that this was unusual and was NOT policy, but, at least the RCI VC and his supervisor saw the advantage to BOTH of us. These astute employees recognized that I still have 28,000 points remaining and that I will spend and they will make more money. Kudos to RCI.

Thimbs Up!

So why the thumbs down?

Where do you get thumbs down? This was not sarcastic. I was impressed!

From your title icon... I'm I seeing an anomaly? I thought I read correctly that you were treated well by RCI, but the first thing I saw and still see was a red thumb pointed down in the title for your message.

Yep, it's got a thumbs-down on it.

Boardgirl and Debbie - Describe the "thumbs down" please. I have no clue what you are seeing.

What they're referring to is:
if you look at your title of your original post there is a thumbs down icon...It is possible that you can't see it for whatever reason. Maybe the settings on your computer or possibly a different browser, but anyway..There are post icons below where you enter the text for your post. I think you may have hit one of those by accident.

BTW...nice job w/ RCI

OK, now I can see what you are talking about. I do not know how it got there. In fact, I do not see anywhere where there is a thumbs up or down (I was going to cover the pages with thumbs up.) Thanks for the info!

Good deal with RCI. Must be RCI's week for a change. I will try to change to thumb from down to up. HA! Now things are the way you meant them.

Ahhhhhh. Thanks Lawren (again). It's been a long time since RCI got a compliment, so it seemed rather unfair that at first glance the messsage appeared to be yet another RCI diss.

Magic powers invested in me by BigFrank.

After a member posts they cannot go in and change the thread title or associated icon. That's why you couldn't see it. So I went in and changed it for you.
