I’ve seen several suggestions about purchasing Grandview in Las Vegas for getting access to RCI points, and suggestions to look at contracts offering 49,000 RCI points (for 1 bedroom) or 98,000 RCI points (for 2 bedroom). In addition to the regular maintenance fees, what else would I have to pay RCI to take advantage of this?
I know there is an annual membership fee to join RCI, and also an Exchange fee, so if I do one trip per year I have to pay each of those fees. Any other fees I need to know about?
What kinds of resorts are typically available for X number of points in RCI? In other words, how far does 49,000 points or 98,000 points get me? I’d be looking for 1 BR or 2 BR units (not studios). Possible locations to visit would be Orlando, Myrtle Beach or Hilton Head, with Orlando being the main destination. We usually book our trips 6 to 7 months in advance to get good prices on flights. We are tied to the school calendar, so would have to go at the higher demand times, although not necessarily the very peak times like Christmas or Easter.
In Orlando, what are the chances of snagging one of these at any of the Hilton resorts, or Wyndham Bonnet Creek? I know DVC is also a possibility with 1 BR in Saratoga being the most likely get, which would be fine with us. Any estimate on the number of RCI points these would take?
This would be purely as a trader - we have no interest in visiting Las Vegas.
