So, as I understand it, the home group perk for a VV RCI points ownership is that you can book early - the exchange fee is not discounted. I believe, though I am not sure, that resale owners also get this perk.
A booking window perk is not that interesting to me, as most of our travel is short notice and off season. I've read that there's some sort of discount on the exchange fee for WEEKS owners within Vacation Village, but I couldn't find anything recent. I have seen the warning multiple places that the discount is only valid on TPU generated from VV properties, combining kills the home group discount eligibility.
I asked a chat representative, and while I'm not confident in his accuracy, he said that the current exchange rate within the VV home group is $159, and that resale owners do get that perk. I just want to make sure that that's what everyone here has experienced!
Also, something I didn't think to ask the agent was whether that reduced exchange fee is valid on heavily discounted weeks - like during the 4tpu sale or similar. Does anyone have any experience to share with me? Many thanks!
