BocaBum99 said:If anyone based their buying assumption on raiding weeks from RCI weeks, they made a huge mistake when they bought....The exchange fees are too high and the extra housekeeping fees are ridiculous.... If I booked it in RCI Points, I would have paid $63 in exchange fees and $58 in housekeeping fees.
You are right on re the costs of partial week stays. The combination of the value of your Points, the Reservation Fee and the housekeeping fees most often make these transactions uneconomic.
I might quarrel with you a little on accessing Weeks. I am right now in SE Florida in a nice, great location one bedroom (I don't need two bedrooms) which I picked up for 7,500 RCI Points and $149 using the 45 day window.

PS - Note that about 90% of my Points come from PFD.
