Tom:

I am not PP owner, and does not have converted week, so can not tell you anything, but if you can get to exchange opportunaties, you may be able to ask people with RCI point account to check the RCI point inventory, since PP use that inventory. If not, maybe you can ask in all point here in General Timesharing? But it is 10 month, so I would think unless you only want certain resort, you should not have problem to get one. The only problem as my understanding, is that RCI point resorts may not deposit their inventory that owner did not take to RCI at exact 10 month period.

Tom-

I have used the RCI Nightly stays. I am a PlusPartners member. What I had to do was call a FF VC and they would connect me with an RCI VC. They check the inventory available and tell you what they have. The first time I called, nothing was available, but was told that it can change all the time. I made a second call back a couple of days later and sure enough the property we wanted was available on the days we wanted.

Once you decide on the reservation, RCI takes out the appropriate number of points from FF (see chart on page 262 of the 2006-07 members directory) and charges to your credit card the fee associated with the number of nights that you are booking (also on page 262).

This seems to work for us since it is easier for us to take long weekends that full weeks.

Hope this helps,
David

But you might also find a better deal shopping online through Expedia and such.

And sometimes it can be less "expensive" to just book the whole week and use the nights you want--if you can snag a week for a 28k deposit, and use three or four nights of that week, you can often come out ahead of the nightly stays total cost.

Our experience was positive

We were able to book two consecutive Tues-Tues weeks on Kauai in June for 154K FSP points per week.

I like Nightly Stays because it gives you access to the points database.

I am using Nightly Stays this year to stay at the HGVC at the Las Vages Hilton for 5 nights, and also for three 2-night stays at the Manhattan Club.

In all four of these reservations, booking weeks would never have been as cost effective. The Las Vegas stay would have required booking two weeks because of the check-in/out days required, and the Manhattan Club would have cost me significantly more.

See http://www.timeshareforums.com/forum...ad.php?t=22871 for info on my Manhattan Club reservations. These were a great deal. In fact, they were such a deal I booked a third stay for July 5 and 6, 2007.
