Re: Are all RCI points equal? (by David W.):

Here what my home resort (South Beach Resort- Myrtle Beach,SC) did & I learned something. When I bought in July 2007 a 3 week , 2 bed/2 bath, during Tee season, it came with 199,500 points and a guarantee that I will always have use there for the same time/season. This was 66,500 points per week. In 2007 I went to book via RCI website and saw it now took 75,000 point for my week of use! I called South Beach and they said due to the increased popularity of their resort (demand) they now charge more points BUT they bank that difference in my yearly account to compensate me! So I now have 225,000 annual points instead of 199,500 to work with not only there but at any resort they have assess to. Incredibly, I just came back from booking at the Imperial in Waikiki (a 1 bedroom/2 bath) for 35,000 point for 1 week! Ofcource, RCI charged me $169 exchange fee... but well worth it!
