A direct and relevant "RCI connection"... (by KC):

I would imagine that the overwhelming majority of owners during snowbird season in that highly sought after location (SW Florida) use or rent their timeshares and don't deposit them with any exchange company.

This is certainly true for the most part, yet RCI somehow often (magically?) seems to have units available FOR RENT at top dollar (but NONE for exchange) in this particular geographic area during this particular time period. Since these desirable weeks are ALL at completely "sold out" resorts, then these weeks obviously cannot possibly be "developer owned" weeks, but weeks which, or so it seems to me, MUST instead have been deposited with RCI by their actual owners. Where else could they possibly have come from?

In any event, my intended point is simply that RCI is obviously very good at doing the math in making their "inventory pool" decisions. When comparing a $169 exchange fee with a $1700 rental fee, it's easy to see which option is better by far for RCI's bottom line...
