Can you exchange a fixed week for points if you also own an RCI points account?

Hello! I'm trying to figure this out. We own Bluegreen, and also a small lot of RCI points through Vacation Village. When we bought Vacation Village, they said I can trade my Bluegreen points in for RCI points through an exchange, but I can't figure out what type of value I would get as all the Bluegreen resorts only seem to come up on the weeks side rather than the points side. So first, is this possible, and second, how can I find out the value of a Bluegreen exchange for points?

Thanks!

You can get RCI points via points for deposit.

Boca did up a good thread for BG owners.

One of my resorts, Summer Bay Las Vegas, has gone to points and of course the developer has been pushing everyone to convert (for $9K, or $6995 "rock bottom"). Our salesperson was pushing the weeks for deposit, saying if I converted just one week, I can deposit the other 4 weeks I own into my points account as per a conversion table. My thought was that I could buy a cheap week already converted, and then deposit my Summer Bay weeks in as points. The salesperson denied that this could be done, saying that RCI had an agreement with the developer that they couldn't accept those weeks as points for deposit. I countered with, "then how do you know I would be able to deposit the other 4 weeks I own if I convert your week?". He went on to give me a explanation of points for deposit without ever answering my question. Does anyone else have experience with this?

In this case, the salesperson could actually be correct. If the resort you own has become affiliated as an RCI Points resort, you can no longer deposit a week that you own at that resort in the points for deposit program. So if the 4 other resorts that you own are not points resorts, then they could be deposited for points as per the generic conversion table.

You were on the right track of buying a cheap week that has already been converted to points and generating more points by depositing additional weeks. You wouldn't be able to deposit your Summer Bay resort for points via the PFD program but could with your others, assuming that none of them were points afiliated resorts.
