Hi there,
I previously owned DVC for about a decade and I am very familiar with their point system. I have been considering buying Wyndham for about a year. I like their portfolio of resorts. I also like that they utilize RCI for exchanging and a bonus perk for me as a Disney lover was seeing the ability to exchange into DVC occasionally.
I want to be 100% clear though on what my options are with a Wyndham contract via resale, and I've tried searching for specific answers and can't find what I'm looking for. Bear with me.
If I buy a Wyndham points contract via resale, I am able to use RCI to exchange should I not want to vacation in the Wyndham resorts. I read via this board that the Wyndham resale contracts only come with WEEKS exchanges (which tend to not exchange well into DVC?) and not POINTS (which exchange better) unless you have the Plus program purchased for $2495. Am I correct so far?
I have never used RCI so I do not understand the depositing and strategies and all of that. I'm no dummy, I did DVC long enough to know it would become second nature after awhile with RCI, so please understand it's just new to me and I will get it.
Can someone please walk me through the specifics of if I were to buy a Wyndham resale contract - let's say 203k points or so - what are the things I CAN do and CANNOT do with these in regards to Disney exchanges - both browsing, booking and the like. Would I have to buy an RCI points contract or the Plus for $2495 in order to effectively book Disney or is there something I am missing.
We would definitely use the points at Wyndham properties such as Glacier Canyon, Bonnet Creek, Ocean Blvd so no I am not buying the contract to exchange. But it is a pretty vital question for my family as we are a party of 6 and traveling to Disney requires a 2 Bedroom unit for us - I need to know exactly what my options are for Disney due to the fact that we love it and our party size doesn't warrant typical "standard room" travel there.
Thank you for helping. I usually am a lurker and hate to bother people with these kinds of long questions.
