Hello, Everyone
I wanted to ask I own Grandview in Vegas from VV and I have a bonus certificate week and I want to exchange for a affiliate Parkway in Orlando. Shouldnt I be charged 159.00 for the exchange? Also why is the RCI using my points instead of taking the escape week? By when do we have to pay daily management before the booking or after ? To hold the reservation?? Any advise would be great..

You need to call RCI to use the bonus week. That is why it is trying to pull your points when you attempt to use it. Terrible website you see :). The more common one is restricted to 45 (or 60) days out. You will be paying the standard RCI exchange fee which is $299. $159 is internal exchange. This is not an internal exchange. It is more of a last call but slightly reduced in price.
You are calling RCI and paying RCI and you can't hold the reservation.

I don't know RCI points have bonus weeks. I have a weeks account that gives 2 bonus weeks. How to find it out?

Never mind, figured it out. You should be able to book online. Just click "Offers" at up right corner, find the "bonus week" and book "Extra Vacations Only". Yes it's 299 full exchange price, not discounted internal exchange pricce for weeks account.
