A very interesting and thought provoking question. Personally, I wouldn't risk accepting half-informed "Internet opinions" as a definitive (or even necessarily correct) answer on this situation.
Instead, I'd recommend inquiring directly of RCI. Of course, the potential problem with phone inquiry is that you could very well get three different answers from three different VG's -- and NONE of them may actually be correct. RCI phone reps (some, anyhow) are notorious for offering answers and viewpoints completely unencumbered by actual knowledge. It might be much better to pose your question in writing directly to RCI, asking for a clear answer in writing:
RCI 9998 North Michigan Road Carmel, IN 46032
In a world where sometimes "no good deed goes unpunished", you certainly don't want to risk the termination of your membership and/or the actual exchange itself while attempting to accomplish such a generous and selfless act. For that reason, I recommend that you DON'T take opinions and speculation offered here or elsewhere on the Internet as representing the correct or final "word" on the matter.
....Just my personal view on the safest and most definitive way to get clarification in this situation.
