My husband and I have been running numbers for quite some time now and could really use some of the expert advice from experienced tuggers!

We have quite a few points we need to book into RCI before they expire and are trying to figure out the best combinations. We typically travel to FL for a couple of weeks in early June, other places for Spring Break, sometimes Christmas and sometimes another week or two in the summer. We aren't real picky about locations - we'll go wherever seems like a fun place and is within driving distance. In the past I've always deposited 28K and been able to trade into 2 bdr. in Orlando or Pompano early June - but with the recent changes I'm not so sure that will work anymore!

So, here is what we've come up with - I'd love to hear others advice/ thoughts on our best bet - appreciate it!

1 - 42K white studio
2 - 28K blue studios
1 - 63K blue 1 bedroom

or

1 - 105K red 1 bedroom
2 - 28K blue studios

or

pay $70 and get:

2 - 70K red studios
1 - 28K blue studio

or

1 - 70K red studio
1 - 42K white studio
2 - 28K blue studios

Thanks!

Would be my choice as it will most likely result in at least 2 weeks of reasonable trades plus possibly a third if you're not picky for the cost of the exchange fees. The 28K MAY go away soon so take advantage while its still around.

Paying $70 upfront just raises your overhead with very little gain in possible value. Keep your outlay in $$ as low as possible.
