We often see threads from those seeking cheap entry into RCI points. Simply looking for the lowest cost per point is not the best approach for many since points, like timeshares in general, is not a one size fits all.
Old timeshare sages often advise, “Buy where you want to go; trading is the icing.” The same may be said when using RCI points, but points holds some advantages for those seeking peak season trades. Booking into your own week is simple, but the real advantage is that RCI uses a system of Home Resort and Home Group which allows you to search in the 11-12, or the 10-11 month windows, prior to the great unwashed masses (those who purchased cheap entry points at the Hoe Down resort out West
).
For many of us who need to travel during peak season, or who can not devote considerable waking hours searching out deals, the 10-12 month windows is a good advantage, and worth a few bucks more to buy into a resort which is part of a management group.
I own at the Divi, and can “see” all the Divi sister resorts in the 10-11 month window.
I also own a tri-annual Cliffs at Peace Canyon, which allows me to see all the resorts in the Daily Management Group, which includes the Jockey Club and Tree Tops. It works for me.
Any one else have a resort group to add?
