Re: Purchasing thru Redweek or other resale companies (by Mark B.):
Typically, before you can bank your floating week with RCI you must contact your home resort and have a week assigned. Basically the earlier out you contact your resort to assign a week the better off you will be since you should be able to select in prime season if you are early. I had a floating week and I used to call the beginning of January and I chose which week to have assigned with no problems. Your chances of getting an exchange into another resort through RCI are the greatest if you are searching out 11/2 to 2 years in advance, so remember to bank your week with RCI as early as possible for greater trading power. If you fail to plan you will probably be disappointed when you are unable to get the exchange you want.
