    Get WM Credits by Exchanging other TS week into RCI

    We recently did an owner presentation and learned that we can trade another timeshare week we have each year and get 7000 WM points into our account. They gave us a form to fill out once we have exchanged into RCI. Have any of you done this successfully? Any tips/tricks? Is it worth it? (I...
