Has anyone done a transfer since "TPUs" were instituted?

According to the Member Terms and Conditions this is possible - I wonder if anyone has transferred "Deposit Credits" from one account to another?
What has been your experience?

I have transferred weeks to other members this way in the past, but when I called a couple of weeks ago to see if I could transfer TPUs I was told no. However the guide did not seem very knowledgeable. Maybe another one would give a different answer.

That is what I was thinking......when I had looked last week I also thought I saw a fee of $99 for a transfer, the same as a combo fee, but when I looked for it today, I did not see that.

It is interesting that they clarify what a 'member' is and that it can be a corporate entity as well - such as a Wyndham/HGCVC/Bluegreen membership.

I will try to find more information.

I have done this twice. Technically, you can't transfer TPUs. You can transfer deposits, but only the entire deposit. You can have several 'combined deposits' in your account, each with a unique relation number.

To see the list of your individual (even combined) deposits, sign in to RCI; click on 'Manage Deposits'; click on 'Weeks You've Already Deposited'.

You will see a list of all your weeks on deposit, including combined weeks and leftover TPUs from exchanges. Click on the red cross to the left of each week and you will see additional info, including the relationship number. The relationship number is how you identify the week you wish to transfer

The form to do so is on the RCI website at
http://www.rci.com/docs/KnowledgeBas...ns_agrmt_1.pdf
and the transfer fee is $99. regardless of how many weeks you transfer. To transfer weeks, you fill out sections A, B and D. I crossed out section C when I did this so RCI wouldn't mistakenly transfer ownership of the week vs. spacebanked deposits.
