What would you combine?

I think it was a targeted promotion. Not everyone was notified. You had to combine deposits and then use the combined deposit on an exchange. I don't think you could make an exchange and then combine your left overs. I think if you weren't notified but called you could take advantage of it. You also had to pay the call in rate. [Oops per Laurie's post you didn't need to combine your deposit but I thought you did also have to make an exchange at the same time]

RCI also has been having targeted promotions that you would not be eligible for if you were not notified.

Well that stinks.
I do about 6 or 7 exchanges a year plus a few last calls.
Maybe if I wasn't such a good customer they'd seek me out.
I guess they figure they're making enough off of me so why give me any more incentives.

You cannot combine any deposits that have an expiration date later than the combined deposits would have. You would not be able to combine the deposits that expire in Aug. 2014 until next month.

Actually, you can combine deposits that have a later expiration - I have done it before and I did it again today. Most people don't do it because you are shortening the length of your initial deposit. However, if you're doing ongoing combos, then you always have a new expiry date.

The online system only allows you to combine a max of 10 units at a time, otherwise you get an error message. I have talked with an RCI tech support guy who said that if I wanted to combine more than 10, then I should call in and they would consider splitting it into two larger combined deposits but only charge the one fee. He said this after suggesting combine them all into one super big TPU trader but I said if I do an ongoing search, it ties up the "biggie". I haven't tried to do this yet to see if that really is the case but I will doing it in the near future as I have a deposit ending soon.

Looking at your list, I would combine all the units other than the two 22 TPU units. The combination of the other seven deposits gives you a total of 59 which you could use for your ongoing DVC search. Given that you also do a lot of last trips, those two 22 point deposits should be able to meet your exchange needs until you add more deposits and need to combine again.

I was a bit off in my previous comment. The system allows you to combine a maximum of 9 units online. You get the error message with 10. And I was able to combine 18 units with it being broken out into 2 big deposits but only 1 combo fee by working with the tech support people.
