Bonnet Creek Orlando questions?

[hsmamato2]

I have a question regarding RCI and exchanging for different resorts- how do you search for a specific resort,say Bonnet Creek? I use points thru RCI,don't know if it makes a difference.... I never ever see it listed when I search by dates,even though I see lots of other places,am I missing something? or do most people pay per night like a hotel?

I'm not sure if Bonnet Creek is available on the points side. I don't see it listed on the Nightly Stays list. Most if not all Bonnet Creek deposits will probably be on the Weeks side of RCI, as Wyndham is on the Weeks side. I have never logged in on the points side, so I don't know if it works the same, but on the Weeks side, you would be able to at least see if a resort is part of the system by pulling up the directory. From there you can type in "Bonnet Creek" or whatever you are looking for and hit search. What comes up in the directory doesn't mean that they have any inventory available at the time, only that in theory it is part of their system.

can't points owners "raid" the weeks side?

wow-thanks for that info! I had no idea I could look at weeks reservations!
Now, I couldn't find it listed at all,even by resort id # does that mean we simply can't trade in there? WHy,if others in RCI can? how does that work?

Not sure what the problem is because I can't tell where you looked. If you were looking at Weeks inventory and couldn't find it, it probably means there isn't anything available. But you should still definitely be able to find it in the resort directory on the Weeks side. Were you looking in the directory or searching inventory?
