We own EOY in Marriott's Canyon Villas at Desert Ridge in Phoenix and Grand Chateau in Las Vegas. We are very happy with the facilities and Interval International. When we want to travel to a location for one week at a time, we use II.
We also own points with Vacation Internationale which gives us access to RCI. We appreciate the flexibility of being able to book for 1 or 2 nights, instead of a week. We can trade our VI points for RCI points - 400 to 1.
We would like to purchase additional RCI points on the resale market. In order to buy additional points, we need to have a separate RCI account in addition to our VI account, so we can deposit the purchased points. RCI tells us that the only way to create that 2nd account is to buy a timeshare that is affiliated with RCI.
Does anyone know of any way around this requirement?
If we have to buy a timeshare solely to create an account with RCI, does anyone have any recommendations as to how to buy wisely on the resale market? Are there reasons why we should not pick up a resale in the $1.00 to $400 range?
Thank you for any advice you can give us.
