    Pondering II - free offer from Vistana

    I have traded our SVR in RCI for many years now, and am quite happy with what we have been able to do. Our other resort (Silver Lake) only trades RCI, and we always trade it, so it seems sensible to be there. However, Vistana has offered us a free 2 year membership in II plus 1 free bonus...

I have heard sellers say it protects the bidder privacy but don't buy that given the bidder name scramble. I have heard buyers say it is done to allow fake bids...
