We own worldmark but just did a presentation at Grandview. I did think it was interesting that she brought up hotels all o er the world and said the point price was based in 3 or 4 star trip advisor ratings. I asied her to clarify rhis is strictly points, no cash, I can book Iceland, Germany etc in a nice hotel for 22k points for a week? I just didmt believe it..she showed me her account and logged in and let me search, i asked where it said “points” all I saw was cash or points and cash for a siscount and she said it is on another page when she books..that there is no cash. I just dont believe that or wveryone would be buying this…so vvp owners…is it true you can get lets say a week in London at a hotel for 40k or 22k points based on star rating…no cash. Not a discount on rates but a tually book it like you book a timeshare?

No. This is RCI and there is not an option to pay with all points.

Take it with a HUGE grain of salt. It was a timeshare presentation, so you immediately have to discount about 90% of what was said. They will say and promise anything, to get you to sign on the dotted line. They don't make a commission unless you buy. Consider the source.

I hope you didn't fall for it.

This Exchange Plus program is now RCI's preferred way to have you book hotel rooms with points .... and it charges a huge exchange fee.
