My parents own 2 weeks at a Gold Crown Resort (a 2-bedroom), and they think they are members of Weeks and Points. They are not sophisticated about this, and have always just called RCI and asked what they could get.
I'm trying to organize a joint trip with them to Orlando in 2007, and have been researching the resorts. Many are Weeks only resorts, not Points, but my parents have always gone to Points resorts. With points it is easy to see how many points are needed to get the weeks we want at which resort. But how do we figure out what they can get in Weeks for their 2 weeks? i.e. they have a 2 bedroom in weeks 44 and 45, and we want a 3 bedroom in weeks 18 & 19 - how do we compare resorts under the Weeks system and know which ones we could trade into? The resort they own at is a highly rated Gold Crown.
To me, the Points system is pretty straightforward - either you have the points required for a certain resort (and you only need to find availability), or you don't (and may have to buy some etc.). But I cannot tell how to determine what their resort is worth under the Weeks system - and I want to know, because some of the resorts at the top of my list are not on the Points system.
We have not been able the log into RCI either to get more info - the log in info they gave me isn't working.
Thanks for any help you can give me! And please remember I am a total newbie, and I do not understand all the terminology, so please make it a very basic explanation!
