So..... Housekeeping or HKT's
You get 1 per 10k of points. After that, you pay. Variable scale. see table below. You can NOT rent HKT's anymore. Changed this year.
You use 1 HKT every time you book a reservation. 1 day stay=1 HKT. 30 day stay=1 HKT.
Book 3 reservations (Mon, Tue, then Fri Sat, then find and book Wed-thur) that are all at the same resort and same consecutive days? Call and they will make it 1 HKT. Make sense? Every stay=1 HKT for all the consecutive days. Take a break? (2 days, checkout, come back 1 day later?) You will owe an HKT. It's simple and doesn't have to make sense. You can't decline. If you are splitting a week with another couple, you could ask to have an extra housekeeping (whatever resort you're at) and they'll ask for $$$.
But, some reservation types (let's not complicate things) made for cash (special promotional rates of .07 per point---CASH) are priced with the HKT included--for any length of stay.
So, you may end up buying some HKT's or may end up making special bookings at .07 cents per point including the HKT.
BTW, the maintenance fees work out to about 7-10 cents a point for a good value contract.
Worldmark exchanges in both II and RCI and can get GREAT deals on short notice reservations (<59 on II and <45 on RCI) and exchanges are just 4000 points (plus 1 HKT!)
They have terrific access to Canadian resorts as well. IMHO
