Do you know if Orange Lake can be traded in both RCI and II or only allowed in RCI?
Is Welk in Escondido still traded as Lawrence Welk or is it traded now as a Hyatt Resort?
Thanks,
Bart

A few in S and VA, a single resort in NC, MD, PA, and UT, plus Jamaica and the Bahamas
If you own a deeded non converted to points week at Orange Lake it only exchanges in RCI not II. If you have a converted points week at Orange Lake and another HICV points week that exchanges through II, then you can use your points in II or RCI.

Welk still currently exchanges as Welk but at some point may be combined with Hyatt but at this time no details as to how that will work or the dates for the integration. They do get priority to Hyatt inventory when trading welk for Hyatt in II.

Thank you, you are more helpful then what I've received from Welk lately. Pretty frustrating as Welk used to always be great service at least for the past 30 years.

I beleive they also receive the $55 discount on the exchange fee.
