Re: Exchange companies. (by R P.):

Mike, you are indeed correct. Points are a more accurate guage of trading power than weeks, since you know exactly how many points it will take to secure whatever type accomodation you are looking for at a certain resort.

Your explanation was right on the mark. If we ever get back into timesharing it will be a points program, since it is the fairest and most accurate judge of trading power.

The way I understand RCI to work is this. EVERY unit whether at a Points Resort or a Weeks Resort has a point value. The entries for Points Resorts in the RCI directory will break down the points for size and week. There is a chart used to convert Weeks Resorts to Points. For example a 2-bedroom Red Week in New Hampshire is 42,000 points. My assumption (though it may be wrong) is that if I deposit my NH Red week and want a 2-bedroom in prime location at a prime time, I won't get it. Since I own at a Points Resort, I can convert my NH week and add the 42,000 points to my account. In this manner I see exactly what I am getting.
