RCI weeks trading power

I really blew it with my timeshare management skills this year. I paid dues early but forgot to deposit to RCI until January, for the last week in June. Then I didn't notice until March that the deposit was on hold with RCI because I paid $4 too little on my dues and my timeshare hadn't confirmed yet.

So, the question is, would RCI have considered my week deposited in January, or in March when it was actually confirmed? I figured March, but since I can see some DVC with it I am curious.

I'm not sure of the answer to your question, but I can tell you that DVC is not the measuring stick in the system in the way it was last year.

I'd guess that RCI will credit you with having deposited in March but if you're pulling DVC club you must have a strong exchanger. Did you notice that RCI is now saying, after all these years, that to maintain 100% of your exchange power you should bank at least 9 months in advance and up to 2 years? I've always recommended a minimum of 7 months. Things are changing. I bet the timeshare salespeople aren't telling prospective owners that they should deposit at least 9 months in advance.

I didn't even realize until last year that I could pay dues early. So after the January/March debacle I got a little too eager and deposited both 2011 and 2012. I failed to consider that the trading window for my 2012 week doesn't start until June 2011, LoL. So right now 2012 (deposited 24 months out ) pulls about half of what 2010 does (deposited 3 months out).
