Thank you again to everyone for your replies. The points we bought are RCI points. Right now, I am just going to sit back and try to learn about RCI and what I have. I bought a timeshare and it may be expensive but I am now an owner and that is that. I have plenty of other battles going on in my life right now and I can't take on another one. So the price may be a negative. The unit we bought will only sleep 4 so that is a negative. We may need more points to do what we want, like trade into Disney-that is a negative.
BUT- Since I have more than enough drama in my life, I have to look at what is POSITIVE. 1. I have a timeshare so there are no excuses to not go on vacation. 2. They are RCI points so I am not restricted by time of year or location, I have the freedom to choose when and where. I do not need to make deposits, I can just watch and buy with my points. 3. I can use my points for a unit that WILL sleep 5 people, I am not stuck with staying in the smaller unit. 4. The resort we bought into is a beautiful resort. 5. And from what I understand, RCI points all bank into the same pool so that is a positive if/when I decide to buy more. 6. If I need help, I am sure I can find the help somewhere.
Right now, I am just going to wait for my welcome package that will have my membership information. Then I am going to take the time to learn about what I have and how to make it work to my best advantage and to actually get into the RCI site and explore it better. I am hoping That if I learn to use it right, that 40,000 points odd years will be enough. If, not, then I guess I will have to figure out how to get more.
Thank you again to everyone for your comments.
