Well, you can just get a rocking chair, sit there rocking, pining, telling stories of the good old days.

This is one that shows JLB's point. The deposit calculator shows that this unit is given 41 TPUs. Clearly not enough to trade back in for the exact same unit and time.Originally posted by Marti View PostComment

The idea is they want you going somewhere else not back to your resort.Originally posted by jlwquilter

Yep. I can't see anyone trading back into their resort for the same exact time and size anyway. I mean, why deposit to begin with if you are going to do that. I do of course understand trading back in using a lesser unit/season to get a high season bigger unit - that can be cost effective.Originally posted by chriskreThe idea is they want you going somewhere else not back to your resort.Comment

What is shows is the resorts where they are shortchanging owners. There are other resorts where they coddle owners with more points lite than what it takes to trade in. Take week 51 at way overbuilt Vacation Village at Parkway. They give you 50 for a 1BR deposit but it only takes 10 to trade back in. Which resorts RCI puts its thumb on the scales to favor or disfavor is clearly shown by looking at what they award for a deposit versus what they charge for an exchange. For a resort that is treated fairly, the number should be the same.Comment

Do you really think that a Myrtle Beach summer week
that is not on the beach is really worth forty nine tpu
For a timeshare owner with not a lot of tpu points to work with...
It might take more than 1 deposit to get to 49, plus the annual fees,
rci`s membership fee, an exchange fee, and the new combine fee.
A family might be better off getting Rid of their Timeshares and Renting!
O - RCI Rents Weeks Too - Now I can see why these points are so high!Comment

I get the same great exchanges that I always have. Nothing has changed in the past 14 years since I dumped II and RCI.Originally posted by JLB View PostThe only bigger is how many deposits it takes to get the same exchanges.JohnComment
