Some members have complained that they like the old website design better but time will tell if that is just the usually resistance to change scenario. One thing that seems harder to find is the place to search by resort name or resort ID number. For your convenience, you http://timesharepointswholesalers.com/blog/2006/07/rci-totally-revamps-their-website.htmlTimeshare Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/12474424/posts/summary/115140995065175959Tue, 27 Jun 2006 06:04:00 +00002006-06-27T05:10:01.220-07:00We're continuing the Timeshare RCI Points series - get links to the entire series. 6. What happens if I own both Points weeks and non-Points weeks? Answer: You will have two RCI accounts but only one annual membership fee. One RCI weeks account and one RCI Points account. You can use your weeks account and your points account as separate transactions.

What if I want to drop out of RCI Points and return to my old membership? Answer: This question makes an invalid assumption that the only way to own RCI Points is to "convert" a weeks ownership to a points ownership. For ownerships and resorts that qualify, another way is to keep your weeks http://timesharepointswholesalers.com/blog/2006/06/rci-points-timeshare-rci-points-series_27.htmlTimeshare Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/12474424/posts/summary/114900780966846174Tue, 30 May 2006 16:49:00 +00002006-05-30T09:50:09.686-07:00We're continuing the Timeshare RCI Points series - get links to the entire series. 4. How do I use Points for non-timeshare products? Answer: A simple phone call to the RCI Points toll free number. The term for non-timeshare products is RCI Points "Partners". 5. What fees do I pay if I am a Points member? Answer: See RCI Points Fees Chart which has all RCI Points fees.

How do I use them? Answer: To use your points, you simply call the RCI Points toll free number and tell the RCI Guide what you want to do. 3. What if I want to stay at my own resort? Answer: Any use of RCI Points involves being able to confirm an exchange EXCEPT for use in your own resort.

RCI Points Question 1. What are RCI points? Answer: RCI Points is a type of timeshare ownership in an RCI affiliated resort, where RCI has assigned a point value for all RCI resorts, assigning a certain number of points for a vacation stay of one night or more, for any size unit and any time of the year. The points can behttp://timesharepointswholesalers.com/blog/2006/05/rci-points-timeshare-rci-points-q-and.htmlTimeshare Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/12474424/posts/summary/114784213620641246Wed, 17 May 2006 04:59:00 +00002006-05-16T22:02:16.220-07:00RCI owns no resorts, it is merely an exchange company, and an excellent one at that, but I seem to have better luck in exchanging, using my RCI Points. But for certain locations where someone wants absolute 100% assurance of staying in a particular resort at a particular time, that person can only achieve that 100% guarantee by owning in that resort during the week(s) desired.

I own RCI Points and I am very happy with them. I have been watching and studying RCI Points for years, and while I believe it is an excellent product, I really believe that there is a good reason and a good argument for ownership of both types of vacation timeshare, RCI Points as well as the traditional one-week type of timeshare.http://timesharepointswholesalers.com/blog/2006/05/rci-points-rci-points-series-part-four.htmlTimeshare Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/12474424/posts/summary/114749886363937635Fri, 12 May 2006 05:39:00 +00002006-05-12T22:43:36.796-07:00If you own RCI Points at an RCI Points affiliated resort, you can use those points to vacation in any RCI resort, be it a traditional RCI "weeks" resort, or an RCI Points resort. If you don't spend all your points in the first year, the points automatically can be used in the second year. They do not carry over to the third year. We have a great example scenario on our website so you can easilyhttp://timesharepointswholesalers.com/blog/2006/05/rci-points-rci-points-series-part.htmlTimeshare Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/12474424/posts/summary/114672953411385153Thu, 04 May 2006 07:58:00 +00002006-05-04T00:59:55.916-07:00RCI Points offers participants the flexibility of using points for shorter mini-vacations, as well as travel-related RCI Points Partners products, including airfare, cruises, car rental, hotels, and theme park and golf activities. RCI has assigned a points value for every size unit and every time frame for every one of it's over 3,700 resorts worldwide, and RCI Points members receive a hard copyhttp://timesharepointswholesalers.com/blog/2006/05/rci-points-rci-points-series-part-two.htmlTimeshare Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/12474424/posts/summary/114644820748557727Mon, 01 May 2006 01:47:00 +00002006-04-30T18:50:07.503-07:00But it is not really new since RCI Points has been around for several years now, but to many timeshare owners it is little understood, if understood at all. I am a timeshare broker with a signed agreement with an RCI Points resort to sell RCI Points and I own RCI Points myself. While I don't believe that the RCI Points product is the cure all or answer all for every single timeshare owner's http://timesharepointswholesalers.com/blog/2006/04/rci-points-whats-new-in-timeshare-rci.htmlTimeshare Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/12474424/posts/summary/112741314715131533Fri, 21 Apr 2006 11:41:00 +00002006-04-21T16:43:57.963-07:00Having been in the vacation timeshare industry since 1981, we find this announcement most interesting. One of the most interesting announcements we have ever seen has just been published in the Las Vegas Sun. Interesting to me because I have seen the industry evolve from the days that the world thought of timeshare as something like a back door pool hall, to what it has become today with the http://timesharepointswholesalers.com/blog/2006/04/rci-points-cendant-and-unlv-to-offer.htmlTimeshare Pointshttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/12474424/posts/summary/114257320494404375Wed, 19 Apr 2006 21:25:00 +00002006-04-19T14:32:02.933-07:00Renting Points: RCI Points members can rent additional points to complete a reservation. Point rentals are currently $.02 per point. Members may currently rent up to 50% of their current Use Year point allotment to complete a reservation. Rented RCI Points may only be used in the current Use Year and cannot be saved or transferred.

While there is no proof and there probably never will be, I can share two actual exchange experiences that seem to indicate that the RCI Points owner has the upper hand. One is for my own personal exchange: I had an http://timesharepointswholesalers.com/blog/2006/04/timeshare-points-do-rci-points-owners.htmlTimeshare Points
