Many flavors of points... (by KC):

adahiscout stated in relevant part: >> However, this type of resort points bought on the resale market sometimes do not count toward VIP levels based on the number of Developer points one owns--and the higher the VIP ownership level, the earlier one is often allowed to make a reservation for hard to get dates.<< =============================================== Ramon: FYI, this specific quoted portion of the above post (and I am NOT peddling or endorsing the RCI Points system in mentioning this detail), references some system *OTHER THAN* RCI Points. I own a RCI Points week (just for the points --- I have never actually been to my home resort and I don't ever plan to), but RCI Points has no (and has never had) any distinctions at all between developer and resale purchases. RCI Points has no "VIP, Elite, Gold, President's Club, etc." status or strata --- all RCI points accounts are equal in terms of accessing weeks at other resorts. Only the actual number of points associated with a purchase varies, whether that purchase is via resale market or developer direct. SPACE AVAILABILITY of what you're looking to book into is generally the one and only (and unfortunately common) obstacle with RCI. The devil is indeed always in the details and, as I had suggested previously, read and learn. Then read and learn and research more --- BEFORE purchasing.
