Housekeeping Credits and RCI Deposit

[xnavyss Member Find all posts View Profile Close xnavyss]

New to Wyndham

Is it true, if I divided my points into a 3 or 4 day stay and made a RCI deposit, I would not only have to pay a Housekeeping credit for my 3 or 4 day say, but also pay a housekeeping credit for the RCI deposit as well.

Then I would have to pay the RCI exchange fee (expected).

Thanks

You are looking at using plus partnership to access RCI point resort right? Resale only has week inventory.

Could be wrong, but based on the directory, You will have RCI reservation charge, Wyndham HK. And some resort will charge you additional HK charge.

I have a small 63000 points.

I inquired about making a 4 night 1 BR stay at 9000 per night for a total of 36000 points and 63 housekeeping credits and a 28000 point deposit. Grand Total of 64000 points.

Was told ( If I understood correctly)

Since I was short 1000 points, I would need to buy 1000 additional points ($10.00) and then buy 28 Housekeeping credits for the 28000 point deposit. I think I was told it was $2.10 per credit- If correct.

Ask VC if you can borrow 1000 points from next year for 28k RCI deposit. If you can, than ask them to carry the HK also. The worse case is you need to find a stdio in Wyndham within 3 month to make reservation, cancel it, get all the points and HK.


If they did that, maybe you should consider put the rest of 2011 points to credit pool (62K and 35 HK). I have not do a detail calculation, not sure if it worth it or not, but you than has some extra flexibility.

That's correct. Any 1BR stay requires (at least) 63 HK credits, no matter how short. Any studio deposit (of any color) requires 28 HK credits.

You can borrow HK points and HK credits from the next use year for Express reservations (90 days or less to check-in) in the current use year. When you cancel a reservation made with borrowed points/credits, they are returned to the use year of the *reservation* (not the original, future use year) as cancel points/credits.
