I have a floating week in a lock-off unit at Marina Fiesta in Cabo San Lucas. I would like to deposit some weeks into RCI, and am looking for advice on how to get the most trading power.
Last year, I rolled over my 2009 and 2010 years, both of which are now going to expire at the end of this year. I have to use my 2009 week by the end of this year, as it can't be rolled over again. But I can pay $25 to rollover my 2010 year until the end of 2012.
My understanding is that I will get the most TP in RCI if I deposit a week that is at least 9 months out. Obviously, I can't do that with my 2009 week. But I could do that with my 2010 week if I pay the $25 rollover fee.
However, when I was talking with GBS (the company that handles Marina Fiesta timeshares), they said I have no control over the date that they deposit. At one point he said their system randomly picks a date, and at another time he said that it picks the first available date that is at least 60 days out.
Doesn't that mean I'll get really poor TP? It also means I will probably be wasting my money if I pay the $25 rollover fee, since the week deposited could very well be sometime in December 2011.
Is it common practice for resorts to pick the date for you and not let you have any say? If my week doesn't expire until the end of 2012, shouldn't I be able to get the most TP for it?
Thanks!
