I'd be curious to know if you can see any difference in units available with that red week versus a white week.

Yes, me too.
Deposited right outside the 4 month window.
The white week 20 5/16 was deposited 11/26 so between 4 and 5 months 29 days….

Travel demand for week 25 RED is 150
Travel demand for week 20 WHITE is 90

The "magic numbers" for II are
12 + months
10 months to 11 months, 29 days
8 months to 9 months 29 days
6 months to 7 months 29 days
4 months to 5 months 29 days
60 days to 3 months 29 days
Under 60 days to 15 days (restricted to trades 60 days or less)
14 days or less (restricted trades to 14 days or less)

Last year i gave ii both a red and white deposited around the same time.
One could see all the royal vista units and the other only saw May. I wanted a June week so used my red week.

But the white week saw all the Marriott oceana palms units. Maybe they temporarily lowered the value to fill the resort. Not sure but i would have thought the Marriott would have been had by only the red week not the Wyndham. Ya just never know with this stuff.

Thanks Chris. How far out was the deposit? I'm hesitant to tie up a red week too far in advance.

It was sometime in October of 2012 if I recall correctly.
So yeah I missed an opportunity for a red week in Feb but I recall doing a 45 day red also to RCI.
But then again I did 17 reservations in 2012 so who remembers all those little details.
So it looks like it was a July 4th deposit.
I'm pretty sure that is one of the highest II demand weeks.

I called on 2/11 and made a 45 day resie to deposit in RCI, it was there 2/13.
I called today at (2/14) 9:30 am to make a RED 6/20 to go into II, I will let you know how long it takes.

I received an email from II on 2/17 at 3pm stating my deposit was in my account - it is.
3 days, and one was sunday and one was national holiday.

On 2/14 I also reserved and deposit a week in RCI, I should have gotten 21 TPUs.
Today 2/20 at 6PM I received an email confirming my combined deposit???
For some reason they added 1TPU to the 21 and gave me 22 - but the original deposit was for 9/2014 good until 9/2016 - by combining, it only goes to to 2/2016.
Time to call the "secret agents" in the exchange department

Sounds like maybe they have adjusted the TPUs for CMV.

Edited - I just spot-checked a few Timbers weeks, and they are still showing the same numbers.

I hope it's up.

Just got around to calling Bluegreen...spoke to super secret agent Judi in the exchange department.
Explained the problem of TPUs expiring 2/16 instead of 9/16.
She will get back to me tomorrow.
Will keep u posted.

This was finally resolved yesterday and now my two deposits are good thru 9/2016 which is two years after the check in date.

Apparently they treat 'free white week' deposits differently then regular week deposits and combine them??
Anyway, all good for now.

Glad they (finally!) got that cleared up for you.

[chriskre Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close chriskre]

Okay, now I'm pissed.
I did a deposit of two weeks to RCI 9 days ago.
Was supposed to be a 10 TPU & a 23 TPU.
So today I check the account and I got the 10 TPU but the 23 is a 20 TPU instead.
Not what it was supposed to be.
BG is sooooo slow in depositing that we are losing TPU's.
That really sucks big time.
