RCI is running another discounted trading power special. Oddly enough, I see this on the weeks account but not in points. Book by 3/22/24, travel dates vary by destination.

How do these things translate to HGVC or Wyndham included RCI accounts? I guess they're limited / don't actually get these access?
These promos do not translate to the portals from timeshare companies like HGVC or Wyndham. (HGVC is the only portal account I have in.)

The portal exchanges are based on a grid, and discounting doesn't happen (that I have seen). I started dabbling in RCI with my HGVC points, and as I learned more I realized I needed RCI traders to maximize my options there.

RCI Points Offer, $30 (10%) off exchange fee for booking ski locations by 12/31 for travel through 2/28.

I'm not seeing any prime ski weeks out West, but a fair amount of East Coast stuff with less notable ski terrain.

Current inventory is from 62 resorts in the US and Canada.

RCI states the Housekeeping Fee for some resorts as follows:
"Housekeeping fee for all RCI Points reservations: There may be a fee of $$$ U.S. dollars for all units, per stay.

When we book a week (7 nights) via Extra Vacations Getaways, do we need to pay the Housekeeping Fee at CHECK-IN?
Or is the Housekeeping Fee only for partial week stay?

Thanks

Not escanoe, but from experience booking dozens of weekly RCI Extra Vacations Getaways, there are resort fees at some resorts, but no housekeeping fees at booking or arrival.

Although all RCI Point exchanges has this fee warning, it is only for partial week exchanges. There may be other resort fees.
