How many TPU's is this worth?

[Ridewithme38 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Ridewithme38]

I'm bidding on an auction that i probubly won't win...But if i do(First time using eSnipe) i'm trying to figure out if its worth getting an RCI account to trade it or just use it as it is...If the TPU value is too low, its in an area that i can drive to at a time that i like...so i can happily just use it

So on to my Question:

I'm bidding on one of the last fixed week Wyndhams that i can find...Its a Week 27 2br Lockoff at Patriots Place....Is there any chance any of you guys can look up How many TPU's this would get me per side?

I understand that if you personally don't own the week you can't check what the deposit value is...But i think looking up how many TPU's it takes to rent it...would be a decent indication of value...

You can look up the deposit trade power for any week in the system, as long as you have an RCI account. Go to Manage My Deposits, then click on Deposit Calculator.

Assuming a "regular" lockoff (studio on one side, 1BR full 4(4) on the other):

studio side looks to be 17
1BR side looks to be 20.

Thank you bnoble! I don't have an RCI account yet...depending on how many TPU's this TS is worth....and if i win it....I'll be deciding if the cost of RCI is worth it

Thats interesting, i checked on the Wyndham Site and it *looks* like its a Small one bedroom on one side and a large one bedroom on the other side...Does Patriots place have Studio Lockoffs and one bedroom lockoffs?...Either way 17-20 isn't horrible...Now i have to figure out the math

Wow, talk about large and small!
Don't expect RCI to match reality in terms of unit size/names/etc.
For the three point differential, I wouldn't complain.

Sunday or Saturday?

Depends on your deposit time, it can be 24 in either side. RCI treats both sides the same as stdio.

At this moment (few months before), it may not get 17.

BNoble's number jibe with what I see for a 2012 week using the regular RCI Weeks portal with Saturday checkin. Are you looking through Wyndham portal?

Yah IF i win the auction...i'll probly just use this year...my birthdays 7/11 so i'd most likely try to reserve a friday check in..as that doesn't include 7/4th so should be easier to get...hopefully...

But most other years i'll be depositing as early as possible with the attempt at getting a 7/4th week...

oh! One slightly off topic question with a lockoff and fixed week...can i reserve one side as a a saturday check in and the other side as a friday check in ?

Only For example this year(2011) week 27
a saturday checkin on week 27 is (7/2-7/9)
a friday checkin on week 27 is (7/8-7/15)

They're both week 27, but just different times during week 27

No, I happen to have week 27 Sun unit. And Have one deposit last month (actually anout 2 weeks ago big size and get 20 when RCI deposit page claim I will get 22), the other deposit 5 month ago (small side and 23). I believe Sat will get a little bit higher most of the time.

By the way, when I deposit, the TPU I got is less than the RCI deposit page claims it will give to me at that time.

They only have Sat and Sun check in. However, you maybe able to find something in Kingsgate from point side. I am pretty sure if you do this resort from point side, it will consider as 2 check in, and you will need to work with VC to get one set of HK back.

But, the fix week will not give you access to Wyndham's internal point side automatically anyway.

For whatever it worth, 2012 Sat deposit is 20, and Sun deposit is 25 for any side. As of today, if you deposit week 27 Sat, it claims will give you 22.

But Sat week 27 is start at 7/7/2012, and Sun week 27 is 7/1/2012.

As I say, I never get what they claim they will give to me. Guess they need to fact in the days it took them to verify the deposit.

So the Sunday is the FIRST day of the week. Then it makes sense - any week that has the actual July 4th holiday in it gets a TPU bump.

Interesting...so the Fixed weeks are fixed day check-in also...hmm, ok the Ebay page says July 3-10, 2011 so i'm thinking thats a sunday check in like yours...BTW, i've stayed at the small side at this place the rooms seemed clean and nice-ish...but the amenities are limited...i know they were talking about building an indoor pool...are you thinking there is a SA coming down the pike?

I believe you can use all other resorts Wyndham has there (Kingsgate/Governorgreen). The resort itself is pretty scatted, so most will have no difference if use Kingsgate or itself.

Don't know if any SA is coming. It should be a planned event, thus HOA members has to make sure to avoid SA. Besides, there already has good of of uncollectable funds, doubt anyone will vote for on this. But if add one more swim pool, the MF should get up a few.
