I cannot see what are available for TPU 2 or 3 since I do not have a deposit in my RCI account.
Would you please post some examples in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming?

Also, when the check-in day is getting close, does RCI reduce the TPU for the leftover/remaining inventory?

Thanks!

Above are top few for MT and ID. Didn't see any for WY. They generally reduce TPUs closer to check-in date, but YMMV.
 
I think some of the low TPU (2) might actually be for stays less than 7 nights. So they are moving some RCI point inventory over to weeks to try and unload it for TPUs. So there may be housekeeping fees charged by the resort for some of these types of exchanges.

Clearly, you do not know one way or the other, so not particularly helpful.

RCI housekeeping is charged at the time of confirming a reservation. Housekeeping is not charged on RCI Extra Vacations of less than 7 nights.

so probably not for TPU bookings of less than 7 nights, but if there was, it would appear when booking.

Just posting based on what someone reported in this thread;

And I see this when booking a Last Call in RCI. Notice it does say "at checkin". It seems that RCI housekeeping isn't charged at booking?

Extra Vacations has the same message. Did you scroll down far enough?

I have never paid a cleaning fee at the time of making the booking in RCI. I did pay one directly to a resort today when checking into the Land of Canaan through an RCI Points booking.

RCI doesn't charge housekeeping fees ever. RCI lists the fees that the resorts say they will collect for housekeeping fees and those are for both exchanges and extra vacations/last calls. Most rci affiliate resorts charge if you book less than 7 days and that includes 3/5 night reservations at resorts in addition to regular points stays of less than 7 nights.

Some resorts list the housekeeping fee but then don't charge it but you shouldn't assume they will not charge it when the rci info specifically mentions that it will or may or can be charged on stays of less than 7 nights.

It looks like someone is owed an apology for the snide comment. I guess I know more than you think I do...

I am curious, does everyone with an RCI Weeks Account have this? They have been giving out certs that show up in deposits that are just good for Massanutten regularly.

Now, it no longer appears as cert. They are just promoting staying at Massanutten this summer for the cost of an exchange fee. There is no comparable offer in my RCI Points account.
