Exchange Questions - depositing RCI points (strategy)

[jpsmit]

Good evening all, I have been a member of TUG for a number of years - and just acquired two Wyndham contracts.

The contracts took until a couple of weeks ago to get processed and while we have already booked 12 days in December, I am not sure we can use everything this year.

We acquired 2 166,000 contracts (Bonnet Creek)

We are going to Bonnet Creek in December for 12 days, leaving us 203,000 points.

Likewise we are planning a week in Myrtle Beach in November for 105-155k points depending.

Thus, we will be left with anywhere from (about) 48,000 - 98,000 points left for the rest of the year.

Sooo what do we do?

RCI?
DAE?
SFX?

I understand RCI gives us a year to use/ SFX 2 years and DAE 3 years.

The most likely (hopeful) exchange would be Europe or the UK next spring - May or June.

I also understand that I can deposit into RCI in increments of 10,000 points - what does this actually get me?

So much to try to understand, thanks in advance for your help and if this is in the wrong place, please let me know.

Wyndham points can only be deposited to your RCI account accessed via the portal on the Wyndham website.

And they should be good for 2 years in RCI.

What is the value of Wyndham points to RCI? Is one Wyndham point equal to one RCI point? Or do you book RCI using a Wyndham point scale so RCI points are irrelevant?

Good questions - I have no idea - anyone?

They remain in the currency of Wyndham points and can be used according to a fixed season/unit size grid found here: https://b2b.rci.com/post-wvr-en_US/home/wvr-exchange-points-chart.page

You could make a reservation to a "quality" resort and then deposit the week into the SFX system.
You should search SFX on this board to learn more.
