In non-covid 19 times how difficult is it to exchange into Bay Club? This is my first RCI points exchange into Hawaii so I don't know what a normal points exchange would look like. I'm assuming that these are grabbed up pretty quick in non-covid 19 times. I'm using 52,500 points to exchange for a 1 bedroom Oct 2021 week. I'm I over spending points?
I have Woodstone and Regal Vista points. Around .007 cents per point. 2 weeks for 105,000 points. 105000 x .007 = 735 + 239 + 239 = $1213 (darn exchange fees).
I didn't know if 52,500 points was discounted because of covid-19.

Of the HGVC locations on the Big Island these units tend to be reserved at a much slower pace than the others. Bay Club was available a few months before the other HGVC Big island locations, and have more availability today. I know we chose Kingsland stringly because our kids are younger an would appreciate the pools a bit more than the beach (but we do plan on spending a TON of time at the beach).
I think you may mean .68 cents per point which is about $347 in maintenance fees. Considering the owner probably paid $1200 in maintenance fees for the week, you are doing quite well.

I was calculating for 2 weeks. Actually Woodstone is .007 cents per point and Regal Vista is .0068 cents per point. (less then a penny a point)
I figured I'd take a chance and grab these up while there are 2 consecutive weeks available.

I did a quick check on a few Marco Island resorts and they do not list resort fees on the RCI directory listing.
I did check and confirm that Bay Club does not charge resort fee when booked via RCI.
So maybe, if there is NO HGVC brand, there is not resort fee. I have not done an exhaustive check, but it appears to be that way, at least for the 3 marco island resorts I checked.
