Has anyone paid their MF's for 2011 and deposited their week with RCI? How is the trade power for DIK and to whom have you e-mailed your payment info? Thanks.
 
Rcd notification today that DIK charged my CC a total of 4704 rand ($635) for my
1bedroom and 2 bedroom units.

They have not appeared in my RCI account as of yet.

I have a 1 BR and 2 BR at Dik. Received email today (3/9) from Theresa van Dyk, Financial Department, Dikhololo:

"The amount of R4704.00 was deducted for the 2011 Maintenance fee."

Charge to my credit on 3/3 was for about $635.

Weeks are not in my RCI account yet.
 
Dikhololo 1 Bedroom

Maintenance fees 263 dollars. Paid/Faxed 3/3/2010. Deposit to RCI Account on 3/10/2010. Credit card charged on 3/9/2010.


Hope this helps.
 
What is the correct email address to use today? Thanks.
 
Got mine today! Dikhololo is very easy to pay and deposit as long as you have the correct e-mail!
 
One thing about their system, though, is that a large number of deposits at one time, as happens in March, skews the trade power unfavorably for owners. Allowing deposits at anytime would alleviate this time.

Also, in waiting from March 1 to 9th or 10th, the rand gained about 2% on the dollar.
 
How do the 2011 weeks trade? I got my payment confirmation. Hopefully the deposit will show up soon. My 2009 week was the strongest so far. I did wait until August 2008 to request.
 
Poor

DIK 2011 trade poorly, no comparison w/ 2009 weeks. Wonder what is going on with RCI exchange and its trading power?
 
I thought my 2011 week traded pretty good. I saw some nice resorts in Florida, Vegas, and Hilton Head for October break, Thanksgiving, and the week before Christmas.
 
I just asked RCI to convert my week at Dik to Points.

He said Dik is now a Points resort and he coudm not do it?

Does this make any sense?

TIA

I checked RCI resort directory. It did not show Dikhololo is as a point resort. The odd thing is that I could not pull any Dik weeks using points or any of my weeks including my Dik 2011 week. BTW, my Dik 2011 week trades ok, not super strong, but good enough for me to confirm an exchange right away.

It doesn't make any sense to me. I recently bought a 1BR and 3BR at Dikhololo, so it was to late to get a good exchange (for 2010). I placed both into the points-for-deposit program instead. That was about a month ago.

I didn't think any SA resorts were RCI Points resorts. Call back and keep calling until you get someone who will do the PFD for you.
 
Dikhololo - RCI Points

Dikhololo is NOT a participating RCI Point resort. When you request Points for your Dikhololo the term is "Points for Deposit" and the charge is $26.00. Sometime a couple of years back a note was place in error when then RCI Points guides pull RCI #1999 to check. All is well. Try another guide, call the 1-877-968-7476 Points number or ask for a supervisor.

Scott, can you talk to them about changing the policy of not opening payment of levies and exchange deposits until March? That ends up causing a large bulge in March deposits and skews supply within RCI, hurting trade power. If members could deposit earlier, it would spread out the deposits, helping trade power.
 
Thanks everyone.

I suspecetd the same indeed and using everyone's advice - I called in and banked teh weeks.

This is really one of the true values left for SA weeks. Just get a points resort and at leats trade them for some real value.

Thanks all.

PS - I used to be fairly active on this board 5 +/- years ago - neat to still see people like Carolinian hanging here. Old friends by extension.
 
Just curious to know how many RCI points one can get for a 1br and 2 br when "deposit for points?

thanks
 
thanks Larry. Just wonder where one can find Points information do we call RCI?
