Cinders54 what do I want survey.

The resale ad on TUG Grandview Las Vegas , 122k RCI points says fixed week , October 11-18, 2026. I can't find a timeshare calendar to find out if this is a high, red, premium, most desirable week.
It doesn't matter which fixed week underlies an RCI Points unit. You (most likely) won't use the week, and just use the Points as 'currency' to book other properties in the RCI system.
 
@Cinders54 I should add that ALL exchanges through RCI- whether weeks or Points cost nearly $400 EACH. So if you parlay those 122K of points into say, 3 week's of usage at something like 40K a week (not at all unlikely) You would have $1200 a year in exchange fees on top of your annual maintenance fee AND & $150 RCI Points membership. There is also a cost of something like $150 to set up an RCI Points account if you are not already a member. The good news is that you only pay for ONE RCI membership- If you have Points, a Weeks membership is included an no additional cost.
 
Go look on Timeshare Nation under Wyndham points they currently have a 20k point contract for FREE including closing costs. It is a legitimate website. Many Tuggers have gotten units from them. They have other contract amounts too, if it is Worldmark you truly want to acquire.
 
I love WorldMark. I wouldn't take anything RCI Points, but we have owned RCI Points for years now, 17-18 years, and I have seen a serious decline in available resorts, and we have seen an uptick in how many points it takes to get our desired locations, like Wyndham Shearwater. It's cheaper to get it with WorldMark through RCI. And the fees to stay in the Hiltons. I think Shearwater was 150,000 RCI last time I booked a week in March.

WorldMark is the BEST timeshare points product for using in RCI or using in the WorldMark system. I have yet to use it in II for exchanges, so I cannot comment on that.

Better resort locations (even Yellowstone and Estes Park and other locations no other system offers), and the cost to buy is very low and the fees are reasonable. We own 46,000 points, which is enough to get 3-4 two or three bedroom weeks per year, and our cost on a 3 bedroom at Dolphin's Cove in Anaheim is about $1,250. That's it. That is not an exchange.

I tried to submit a WorldMark credits purchase request on Timeshare Nation but the 'submit' button didn't work.
