Just got off the phone with RCI. I decided I was going to take them up on their offer to return full trading power if I deposited my March 2016 studio by October 31. The rep said he was not qualified to do it so he put me on hold until it was completed. When he returned he said I received the full trading power of 8. I was expecting 10 as my studio had been recently lowered in TPU worth from 14 to 10 sometime in 2015.
I told him 8 was not the right number as he could easily see in the upcoming years. He agreed the he could see what I was looking at but that sometimes this happens if they are different weeks. I told him it is a fixed week (the same interval each year that does not include a holiday) and that the week had not fluctuated from year to year in the last 15 years. That the week only goes down in value whenever RCI feels like it. This is a ski week that was originally worth 10 TPU when it was firstlisted on their site and weeks in the next years are worth 10. I asked to speak to a supervisor to check why this was happening. He put me on hold again and came back saying that the supervisor sad this was normal even though the studio is worth 10 TPU in 2017. He also said look the other side of your lockoff I worth more TPU.Of course I told him that was because the other half was a 2 bdroom.
So I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this on a week that never is not a holiday some years and not others. I purchased this condo in 2001 and have traded it mostly through RCI so I understand how RCI has treated it. I think they are making up rules as they go now. :annoyed:
A second thing I noticed was when I went to combine two previous deposits instead of it increasing the amount of time I had to travel as it had in the past, it shortened m travel window by I think a year.
