Weeks have all the power now

I've been neglecting my weeks. Now that RCI talked us all into switching to points I see the weeks inventory as about 10X points. Follow the money... they make more on fees in weeks so that is what is available. Now it seems a point exhcange is nearly impossible, not to mention expensive. Can I reserve my weeks and deposit them into the week system instead?

You could potentially convert your week back from RCI points but depending on what you own would determine if it would be worth it or not.

What do you own?
We can look it up for you and let you know how many TPU points you would get with your underlying week in the new RCI.

If you get a good amount of RCI points for a reasonable MF, have you considered just getting a good TPU trader so you can have access to both sides of the inventory? I see alot of stuff in RCI points that is not in RCI TPU weeks side. I guess it depends on where you want to go also.

I have June and September 1 BR units at Carlsbad seapointe. They get 51000 pts each.

Before you get too enamored with that cushy Weeks program, here's a couple of many threads on the subject:

A 1 bedroom in June gets 38 Weeks/Points and in September it gets 26.

The 38 is very good and the 26 is above average, which most believe to be 18-20.
