OK, the other post I saw on this was not on TUG, it was on TS4MS.
It said:
RCI #1115 lost silver crown rating
I just talked to RCI and was told that Christmas Mountain (1115) lost the Silver Crown rating and currently have no designation.
Next post was:
Yikes! Any one have any idea what that means to our trading power with CMV cottages and RCI?
Then Bruce (who seems to be everywhere) explained:
RCI Points if deposted 90 days or more before check in dates. For CMV RCI's resort number 1115 (for the Cottages, Cabins and Villas) are now Red 36,000 RCI Points down from 43,500 RCI Points and White now worth 24,000 RCI PointsT down from 28,500 RCI Points.
for Blue I did not ask as I do not deposit them.
It means about a decrease of about 18% to 20% in RCI Points awarded.
Our Timbers I was told by 2 RCI Guides still has its Silver crown rating for
2010 so those points awarded stay the same. RCI Points if deposted 90 days or more before check in dates. For CMV RCI's resort number 3662 (Oak Timbers, Deluxe Timbersand Townhouse Timbers) are still Red 43,500 RCI Points and White 28,500 RCI Points. For Blue I did not ask as I do not deposit them but I think they were and still are 16,000 RCI Points or 16,500 RCI Points.
I didn't understand his explanation.
I then went to the RCI link I provided above, saw Timbers but not the 1115, and hence asked the question is 1115 still with RCI, and if so, why is it not on the RCI Resort Directory?
I'm just trying to determine if I should go for a cabin - I like the MFs, I can live with the special assessments (especially if they do a good job, it looks like they will) and the way you can have 3 (or 4?) intervals, but I also want something so I have at least the possibility of RCI.
Thanks again to all, now I'll shut my trap and read
