Spring Break in the Ozarks is mid-March.

Easter 2012 is April 8. Looks like RCI has a very high value on Holiday Weeks, but this is the week before Easter?

At the Marriott Aruba, this week before Easter was sold as a Platinum Plus - it isn't Branson, it is Easter/Spring Break for many elementary/grammer/high school systems in the USA.

Here's a typical Ozark-American School Calendar. Spring break is March 11-14:

What's special about the first week of April in Branson?

Branson, Missouri, is one of America's top vacation
destinations and hosts over seven million people each year!

Families who live a short distance from Branson Missouri
mostly travel to the area for the weekend to see a show
They don`t often spend a full week in a timeshare there
during off season (maybe during the summer months)

You did not mention the name of the resort so
its hard to compare TP value without knowing
if it is a standard resort or a gold crown resort

All weeks posted are from the same resort. My question is not concerning resort quality, something I am competent in, but about what should be comparable weeks at the same resort.

That's why my question is about the week, not the resort.

Branson

Exchange Trading Power (Costs) for
Sat 31-Mar-2012 to Sat 07-Apr-2012
ranges from 10 to 21 with 10 resorts
showing availability for that week

The two most expensive 2 Bedroom units are
Indian Point Resort Condominiums (#4321) 21
and the resort you made reference in post 1
Still Waters Vacation Resort (#3675) 21

Still Waters Resort

So the question is, why do they want double the points
for the same week and why would anyone spend more?

It would be interesting to learn how "RCI"
calculates trading power the way they do.

Maybe they can find computers with PointCheck, that will point out, highlight, the unfairness.

Actually, since you hear so much about the oversupply of Branson weeks, I thought I'd see how many 2-bedroom Gold Crowns there are for a week we only get 8 for depositing, in March, 2012.

There is only one . . . not exactly an oversupply.

There are only 19 of any kind for the same week.

Which made me go Hmmmmmm?!

I wonder how many 2-bedroom Gold Crowns there are for a week we get 14 for depositing.

One, for 17.

Only 16 of anything for that week.

I wonder how many 2-bedroom Gold Crowns there are for a week we get 22 for depositing?

And there are none.

But there is a Silver Crown for 25 and an other one for 29.

and only 10 of anything.

Is there anything that we are not getting screwed on? If there is, I haven't found it yet, and you know I've been looking.

Which just makes me go Hmmmmmm !?
