Good Evening,
I have an RCI account associated with a Wyndham ownership, but book with Wyndham every year. I only used RCI a couple times years ago when I traded a Blue Tree week, that we no longer own.
My wife's friend owns at Grandview Las Vegas week 9 and wants to unload it because she doesn't know how to use it effectively. Of course my wife told her I'm a pro and will teach her...haha. I know a little about timeshare and am more familiar with II, but really a rookie when it comes to RCI.
So, I've just started doing a little research, trying to figure out how many points the week is worth if she were to deposit it. I found this chart https://www.rci.com/static/docs/en_US/pow/help/rci-points-grids.html So it tells me it requires 49,000 points to book Grandview 1 BR week 9. Can I assume if it is deposited a year in advance a 1BR would yield close to 49,000 points?
My wife stayed with her in Vegas a few years ago and it was a 2BR. This chart only shows 1BR. TUG Marketplace lists 2BR and 1BRs. Why are there no values for 2BRs?
Finally, could anyone give me a ballpark of how many points a 2BR week 9 Grandview deposited a year out would provide? Much thanks.
 
Would you know if she is setup under RCI Points or RCI Weeks for her Grandview week?
I have a Grandview 2 bedroom that is under the RCI Weeks program.

I did a trading power lookup for week 9 under the RCI weeks program. This is the chart for week 9 - 2024 deposit if you were to deposit it as a 2 bedroom unit:
If you deposit this weekThis is how much trading Power you will receive
After 17 Feb 20249
1 Feb 2024 to 16 Feb 202411
3 Dec 2023 to 31 Jan 202415
4 Sep 2023 to 2 Dec 202317
6 Jun 2023 to 3 Sep 202318
Before 5 Jun 202319

Normally I deposit my 2 bedroom as 2 - 1 bedroom units though. This is the chart based on that:

If you deposit this weekThis is how much trading Power you will receive
After 17 Feb 20248
1 Feb 2024 to 16 Feb 202410
3 Dec 2023 to 31 Jan 202414
4 Sep 2023 to 2 Dec 202315
6 Jun 2023 to 3 Sep 202316
Before 5 Jun 202317

As you can see, you get more trading power power if you were to deposit it as 2 - 1 bedroom units (you take the numbers above and multiply it by 2).

If they are under RCI Points, maybe someone else can do a similar lookup for you.
 
As stated above, first order of business is to find out if it is weeks or points. For weeks, see the posting above. For points, your link is correct and multiply any points listed by 2. With Grandview, the points and maintenance fee are x2 of the 1 bedroom.
If it is annual, all the points get deposited yearly. For EOY, the points is divided by 2 and she gets half every year into RCI if she wants to use RCI for exchanges.
 
There are some perks with Vacation Villages ownership.
You generally get one exchange a year for the cost of the RCI exchange fee only. These are usually not premium resorts, but you never know what you could get. It is similar inventory to last calls.
Weeks owners -- not points owners -- get the benefit of trading for other Vacations Villages resorts for $159, a savings from the RCI fee.
You get all the usual last calls, extra vacations and 7 Night Exchanges under 10k Points (if you are a points owner.) I don't know how that works for weeks owners.
 
For RCI points there's a couple of points allocations. A Grandview 2br will get you either 122,000 or 92,000 points in RCI. The difference is high demand week vs not high demand. A Grandview 1br will get exactly half of those numbers.

I've owned a high demand 2br week for a number of years. Always been able to get 3 or 4 weeks each year, in a 1br, staying at other locations. But, we typically travel shoulder season.

I get 98,000K points with my 2BR at the Grandview
 
The Points tiers at Grandview are 122,000 98,000 80,000 Annual 2 Bdrm
 
Thanks for your responses, everyone. I will ask if she is set up as points or weeks.
