I was just going to post that when I saw your post.DVC moving to II effective Jan 1 2022 - just got the email
OH MY GOODNESS, yes! That person just asked, and I was telling her about Grand Palms for weeks in RCI, and she was looking at RCI Points to buy. We need to warn her about this.yikes! that's not much notice! Has it been about 10 years of RCI? And, that's why we tell newbies, "don't buy something just to trade into DVC via RCI." I was just thinking, "do we really "need" our AKV contract when we can easily (and more cheaply) trade in via RCI?"
Trading in is a whole new ballgame with II. I am super excited about this but only for getting exchanges. I don't see us ever depositing DVC points to II. But wow, what a great change. I have great traders for II.I'm happy about it too. I think the Marriott and other II resorts are generally nicer than the RCI resorts. I'm looking forward to seeing the directory of resorts we can use our points for (e.g., I'll be surprised if we can book Marriott Ko Olina with DVC points) and how many points it costs to exchange.

OMG, that's right. Every now and then a side mention has been made that DVC might switch back to RCI, but I don't think anyone thought it would happen so quickly and with such short notice.OH MY GOODNESS, yes!

Do you happen to recall in II if you could trade a summer Sheraton Broadway Plantation 2BR for a DVC 1BR? I know in RCI, SBP didn’t give me enough TPUs. (So many acronyms)II still doesn't have the resort codes listed in their directory. I have been trying to remember them to see if they are using the same ones. I need late April-early May. Super happy with this news. I got 4/17 already.
A couple of months ago I might have said the same. Now I'm not so sure. It would certainly open up some additional resorts for us - our other TS trades in RCI.I don't see us ever depositing DVC points to II.
Yes, you will have access to a lot of "Getaway" inventory. It is great inventory.My only other timeshare after DVC is with RCI. As a DVC member will I have access to last minute availability in II such as "Last Call Vacations" in RCI?
Yes, that would be an easy trade. I also had great success with my Foxrun weeks. I think I will move my remaining Foxrun back to II from RCI now.Do you happen to recall in II if you could trade a summer Sheraton Broadway Plantation 2BR for a DVC 1BR?

Thanks
And there are plenty! All Orlando HGVC and a few Marriotts trade via RCI.Oof. This news hurts. At least on the bright side I'll be forced to try out the other fine vacation resorts in the Orlando area -- I never would have when I could get DVC.
