All RCI points are equal as it pertains to exchanges. Every points resort has a value assigned based on several factors, size, location, quality, season, etc. In my opinion, purchase price has little to do with the amount of points assigned by RCI. ... Go to rci.com and select the Resort Directory tab (you don't need to be a member) and look at some of the RCI points resorts for comparison. For example, Paradise Canyon Golf Resort has a points range from 6,500 to 79,000 based on unit size and season.

Is it true that a non-member can see these point break downs on a property? When I go to Paradise Canyon Golf Resort, all I see is "Red", "White", and "Blue" weeks (very patriotic!) - nothing at all about point values.

Speaking to RCI customer service reps on the telephone, one told me that I COULD see the point values on their website, and when I called back in confusion, the second rep told me I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT. He implied that if I was not a dues-paying RCI points member, I ought to stop wasting his time, go stick my head in a toilet, and flush it repeatedly.

If anyone knows a way for me to actually see what an RCI point is worth, please let me know! In fact, I think I will start a whole new thread devoted to the topic.

Thanks! MF
