That's nice to know. But it is the resort that decides that? Or the exchange companies? Or mutual?

mutual contracts between exchange companies and resorts

But aren't RCI and II in competition? I guess that both PRL and VSI would be in competition as one (PRL) would rent to the "public" like both RCI and II do and one would "exchange" with timeshare owners (VSI) like both RCI and II do. Does it look like they split these functions in to two separate entities to any one else?

Yes, you could say RCI an II are in competition as the two largest exchange companies, but that has nothing to do with VSI or PRL. What they're trying to do is to use RCI's point system for their gain.

I am definitely NOT saying that, Jay, Jay. I am just saying that somewhere in THEIR corporate structure, someone approved of this policy. Thanks for the quote from their Terms and Conditions. I

Yes, you're correct that it's corporate policy but it's been the policy since 2000 when we started buying timeshares. It's not like it's something that's just emerged.
