While I don't have any plans to use this in the immediate future, I decided recently to try to understand how I can use my Wyndham Ownership in the RCI world. I've read a some of the documents on the Yahoo forums and I just want to run down my understanding here to make sure I'm actually "getting it". I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but I want to make sure I understand how this stuff works before I (attempt) to explain it to my wife.
"Part 1"
So I own 308k at Bonnet Creek. When I look at the points chart, it shows that for weeks 15-19, I could book the 4 BR Presidential for 231k points.
Now I went to RCI.com and pulled up the Bonnet Creek resort and it shows:
Weeks 7-17, 4BR for 132,000 RCI Points
Weeks 18-19, 4BR for 79,000 RCI Points
If I understand correctly, I'd then book myself into the 4 BR Presidential through Fairfield for a week during the 15-17 week time frame for 231,000 Fairfield points and then (somehow?) deposit that week into RCI and that would give me 132,000 RCI Points?
"Part 2"
Assuming "Part 1" is correct, this raises a question for me. Looking at the RCI Points Chart, it shows:
Weeks 25-33, 4BR for 132,000 RCI Points
However, on the Wyndham site, it shows that Prime season is weeks 23-33 and during that time frame, the 4 BR Presidential is 424,000 points. So does this mean that I could technically stay in the 4BR Presidential during Prime Season for 231,000 FSP points by going through RCI?
I'm guessing that although I could use my ARP at Bonnet Creek to almost guarantee my deposit into RCI for weeks 15-17, obtaining a 4 BR during weeks 25-33 through RCI will probably be difficult? How far in advance can you book a vacation through RCI?
"Part 3"
Lastly, if "Part 1" is correct, I'm not sure I understand how "less than a week" points convert over into RCI? Like, if you had, say, 42k left over FSP points. Those aren't enough to say a week at any of the Wyndham Resorts, so, how do those convert over into RCI?
