How many weeks can you get from your one week

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

So there's a poll asking if people can get one week for one week on RCI, so i figured, for the majority of RCI users that get more then one week for their one week deposit, i'd make this poll

So how many weeks have you gotten for your one week Deposit at RCI?

Ride, it actually depends on where I want to go, when and how big a unit I need. With one of my deposits I could do 2 weeks (high season) in the Caymans or 3 week near Orlando (also high season) in 2 bedroom units.

So, not one size fits all.

I have yet to see any reason to deposit to RCI

I think the independents are such a better deal. I do get an RCI membership with my just closed Bluegreen purchase, but I do not expect to use it for anything other than learning more about the RCI system.

Sounds like 3 weeks

Just to get this outta the way, with one deposit we can get up to seven of stuff we don't want, and none of what we used to get, and might want, but not likely any more.

So the problem is you only want under developed places, you know, places are over built or under developed for a reason, demand...

Different Weeks Different Amounts

We own 4 different places and each is Gold Crown. The difference in what each gets is huge. One of ours is a studio and the others are two bedroom so depending on what we want we play the game.

Once your child is grown perhaps your tastes will change also. Most of us older folk are not drawn to the W'Burgs, Massanuttens and Orlandos.

You can get stuff for 3, so?

People are like cattle or lemmings, unless they make a conscious decision not to be. (Most of my decisions, of course, are unconsious, but that is one of the conscious ones, to not go to where everyone else goes at the same time everyone else goes there.)

The line of cars could be going to a slaughterhouse or off a cliff, and most people would get in it.



As for the road less traveled by vacation areas we have been at in Florida all winter, I can vouch that they do not appear to be less traveled. We purposely chose one of the least traveled areas, and I don't know how you could cram more people and cars into it. As I have posted, even the two timeshares there appeared to be packed each day we went to the beach.

The more traveled of the less taveled Florida areas in Snowbird Season are totally unbearable, IOHO.

Guess the one area of Florida I spent a day at this Snowbird Season, for All You Can Hit, All You Can Eat, All You Can Play golf, where the Pro told me it was the slowest winter ever?

I can vouch for other roads less traveled by, such as Colorado ski areas and National parks, they are also very well traveled.

The presence of timeshares draw timeshare people to some areas because there are timeshares there, but the absence of timeshares does not discourage normal people from other areas. Also, timeshares draw timeshare people to some areas they would not otherwise go to.

The timeshare areas that are overbuilt are overbuilt because those are the areas that provide sales people with the largest pool of easy targets (like us a long time ago), direct sales being, simply, a numbers game.

What was this thread about again? Oh yeah, how great RCI is.

Not to me, sounds like 2 weeks in a desirable location.
3 weeks to a place I do not want to go.
In fact, much of Orlando can be gotten for 8-12 TPUs so I bet Joy could get 4 weeks there.

Did not answer the poll as it does not make any sense.
At 8 TPUs, I could go to Orlando for 6 weeks, at 12 TPUs I could go for 4.

It all depends on when, where and what size u need.
Very individual, not like it was when things were straight week for week trade.

Just to explain the origin of this poll, since not eveyone tracks my every post and tries to demean them , the OP made a crack about how the Poll I started after Weeks Points set in, was biased, IHO, and, Wallah!!!, this unbiased poll appeared.

http://www.timeshareforums.com/forum...-versa-15.html

I did not want to be the first to say it is bogus, cuz that would appear to be self-serving . . . biased, let's say . . . and I certainly would not want anyone to accuse me of that. I mean after all, no one has ever taken a crack at me the last 15 years, and I doubt I could handle it if they did.

(FWIW, for those who were not around, people took cracks at me when I was an RCI proponent, too.)

Well, as I surmised, this has been a waste of the time it took to make two posts.

Have a Sunny Day, everyone, unless you need rain.

Exactly, I cant get anything I use to trade for with my week, I can if I combine 2 weeks and pay the combine fee. Lots of cheap stuff at places and times we do not want to be there.

So far, it seems like just confirming the results of the first, biased, poll.

Some (1/2?) benefitted, some (1/2?) didn't. Pretty simple stuff.

It doesn't really matter, cuz you either got screwed or you didn't. You either stopped depositing, you will, you haven't, or you won't. You either are aware, or you aren't. Those who haven't, or aren't, have less to choose from, far less to choose in coveted areas.

There is no issue that one needs to prove to another. A sinking ship is a sinking ship for all pasengers. Some have taken the lifeboats already. For those who have, it is perfectly fine for it to be an exchange company for those in overbuilt areas to trade into overbuilt areas. That is their own doing.

For us, we stopped using Orlando to trade into Orlando a long time ago, but we understand the fascination, having had it ourselves during our formative years.

Damn me, posted again on this thread, and edited, and again.

I better go bale the lawn. Nah, grill some hot dogs.

Red means nothing anymore in the world of RCI, but because of the way RCI affiliated and motivated resorts changed the meaning of the word 'red,' it still can mean something with the independents. Playing the independents takes work, and is amost predatory, but by playing well I can get something I want for @$130, rather than many things I don't want for nigh on double that price for each.

Nah! Baloney seems more appropriate.

Damn it! Did it again. You know what.
