    Enjoy RCI but would like to add II without buying from a developer

    We bought 150,000 points from HICV when we stayed in Cape Canaveral in April 2021. I didn’t know about this Forum at that time and so I know after reading so much on this Forum that I paid way too much. I’ve accepted that loss but we actually didn’t feel huge pressure to buy. Over the past 30...
