Do you know where I can find the point cost for unit size and season for a Wyndham to RCI trade?

I used to have the booklet and now I don't know if they have them anywhere. Is there a .pdf or link to the cost of points per unit size and season?

Thanks!

The points translation is on page 334 of the directory which BNoble linked.

However, be aware that RCI does not follow the same seasonality as Wyndham for resorts. RCI has geographic regional seasonality. I have seen this breakdown before, and if you google it you will probably find it, but it's not super straight forward. And you may find instances where some resort may be low in Wyndham or blue in Worldmark but may be white or red in RCI weeks.

And to further muddy the waters, RCI weeks follows different seasonality than RCI points.

I found what I think is the most current seasonality chart for RCI

Understand also that if you plan to use RCI for booking Wyndham or Worldmark resorts, you will almost universally use MORE points, and have the exchange fee on top of that. There are a couple exceptions, but largely you will. But the entire point of Exchanges is to use your points at resorts not in your "home system"...

Those seasons have no bearing on the seasons used in the Wyndham/RCI mini-portal. Wyndham exchanges in RCI have four possible seasons; the RCI Points system has three. The only way to determine a season in the Wyndham/RCI portal is to look at the number of points required for an exchange in RCI, and then refer back to the chart on page 333 of the directory. These seasons are different than both Club Wyndham's seasons and RCI Points' seasons.

Also, in some cases Wyndham resorts in RCI are available for fewer points than directly through Wyndham, often so many fewer that it makes up for having to pay the exchange fee. A general (but not foolproof) rule of thumb is the more points the resort costs to book through Wyndham, the more likely it is that you'll find it to be a better deal in RCI. An older, lower-point Wyndham resort is probably a better value to book directly through Wyndham (except that it may be a good value through RCI's cash vacations).

Example: I could book a week in a 1BR at Club Wyndham Austin for my kid's spring break week in April for 126,000 points in RCI. The same week through Club Wyndham would be 250,000 points. On the flip side, that same week at Fairfield Glade in a 2BR is 165,000 points in RCI, and 126,000 points directly through Wyndham.
