BlueGreen weeks with highest TP in RCI

[FrmrVacGuide]

I'm trying to figure out the best week to deposit into RCI from a trading power or exchange credit perspective. We have 12,000 BG points to use.

I'm assuming it would be at Hershey, Lodge Alley Inn, or Aruba.

The ultimate goal would be to try and get a 2BR at Disney. Right now we've traded a 1BR from Lodge Alley and a 2BR from Hershey for two 1BR at Disney for the 4th of July. That was done before the change at RCI. The BG website is giving me a headache looking for weeks and then having to use the RCI website to look up values. If anyone else is doing this homework now, I would really appreciate your input.

Bluegreen is changing it's model for exchanging through RCI on Nov 30. There will be a point table for each resort, unit size and season and you will just exchange points. No more depositing unless it's a fixed week.

When did that info come out?

Do you think it would be better to wait for the 30th or just do it now?

Is this going to be different than the Traveler Plus system? On that table, it shows that I would need 18,000 BG points to do a 2BD in Florida. If that is the case, it would seem I would be better off deposition a week before the change.

It might be to your advantage to wait. I checked with a vacation rep the other day. We own a summer float at Hershey. The trading point value is 21. I was shocked. No availability and high demand. Sure is not what it should be.

I thought I saw higher numbers for Hershey either in Spring or Fall. I was surprised that it worked that way. I thought the overall numbers would be higher, but not too surprising. It is still Pennsylvania, and I think RCI members have all gotten tired of asking for it and never getting it. BG never gives that out to deposit unless you specifically ask for it. I used to tell BG members that called in to get one of those weeks or Lodge Alley Inn.

If I deposit my fixed week 2 bedroom villa, week 30 at Christmas Mountain Villiage now it would be worth 32 points. It would have been worth 33 if I deposited 9 months out.

Pat,

The Hershey summer week value has been adjusted by RCI shortly after Nov 15. Check the deposit calculator now. It is 47 TP for most summer weeks. I deposited an August week and traded for two weeks at the Smuggs. I am happy.

Which weeks can I get 47 TPU with RCI?
I own weeks 22 and 31 which are flex weeks so I can book all 198 to 42 weeks plus near Christmas weeks, which week have the highest value?
