Depositing Wyndham points to RCI without HK points?

Has anyone tried to deposit Wyndham points to RCI without enough matching HK points? Does the system require you to pay for the HK points when you deposit? I am trying to decide if I want to make a Wyndham reservation using my points. It is for a three night one bedroom that costs 45k points. Unfortunately, it is showing up as a split stay online so it will require 126 HK points. I called Wyndham and was told if I end up not moving during my stay, they will credit back the HK points. However, I also need to deposit the left over points now to RCI in order to avoid another transaction charge. Will I have to pay for HK if I deposit now? The system is way too complicated IMHO.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Jane

I believe the answer to your second and third questions is yes based upon my attempt once to make several Wyndham/II deposits with one transaction fee. I did it on the phone and the rep did not realize that I didn't have enough HK credits. The next day I saw that all of the deposits the rep tried to do had gone through but one had bounced because of the shortfall. I called the next day, purchased the necessary credits and made the final deposit. As I recall, I had requested a supervisor who bought my argument that it was the original reps fault and waived the second transaction fee.

Perhaps it is different for RCI.

You need to deposit hk for rci but at 50%. so if you deposit 100,000 Wyndham points to rci, you will need 50 hk points.

Must be some other system your are referencing.
This changed with the "new" RCI portal. Per page 236 of the current directory: "Housekeeping Credits will be deducted at a rate of 1 Housekeeping Credit for every 2,000 points deposited."

Note that they do round up, IIRC.

Thanks a lot for the information. I like the new HK deposit rule. Finally something positive for the owners. I wonder if it is automatically done so that people will have HK credit left over when they deposit to RCI.
