RCI to DVC...What seems to be the easiest on-site resort to trade into?

You may be right, but I never saw any changes.
Albeit, all is fair in love, war and TS I guess.

Do you think there is a chance the TPU will change by resort for DVC?
You know, perhaps OKW or SSR may dip a little in value due to a larger inventory and age of the resorts?

I don't know RCI, but I wouldn't be surprised if the fees were different at different resorts to trade into at some point.

As a DVC member, I can tell you no matter which resort we own at, our trading power into RCI is exactly the same. I have no idea what happens to the points once DVC takes them and converts them to RCI.

There is only one way to know for sure.

Yes, see thats what bothers me, they give you X amount of value, then hike it up more for themselves.
It may be how business is done, but still seems shady to me with all the other fees they make us pay just to acquire a week.

As much as I dislike it, it does make sense to have different TPU's for different size units. I was surprised that they were priced all the same to begin with. Of course it was nice while it lasted.

Does anyone know if you can request a certain location/view if you obtain a DVC exchange? Or are you locked into a predetermined (the week that was offered for exchange) location at the resort?

Anything that is a booking category internally is predetermined in an exchange. Within a booking category, you may make requests.

So, for example, if you get an exchange to OKW, you (probably) won't be in the "Hospitality House" section (buildings 11-14, 23-26). But, you can ask to be in e.g. Turtle Pond vs. South Point, as those are both in the "General Resort" category.

Thanks, that's kind of what I thought. BTW, as soon as my deposited weeks show up in RCI I'm placing my ongoing request for a 2br DVC in late June. Thanks for your advice here and previously.
