Re: Festiva buying Escapes (by Steven R.):

Of course not, the more TPUs, the merrier. I was saying that there are various TPU amounts assigned to each week under the "faux point" system. Some are better, some are worse. A 2Br can go for from 10 points a week, up to 24 points a week, all for the same unit and the same $700. I didn't get the maximum or the minimum, but wasn't unhappy with the amount I did get in return.

I thought it was interesting that for my Festiva Stonebridge Village COA units, when I banked them into RCI, I wasn't even given TPUs but instead received what are called "Bonus Weeks". In all the advertising RCI does about their system of Trading Power, I was surprised because just the week prior, I had banked the lockoff and received the TPUs I mentioned, and now was receiving something called "Bonus Weeks".
