RCI Bonus week when deposit Sheraton Vistana?

[lprstn]

I am still trying to figure out my best benefit for depositing my Vistana. I now know that with II there is not AC for my deposit, I did a search 1st and wasn't too happy with the results I got. However, I called RCI and (since I deposited my Vistana week with them this Jan) and they said I get a Bonus week for the deposit. Does anyone else (which resorts) get these bonus weeks, which resorts, and are they like the ACs?

No, they are worthless (RCI supposed bonus weeks)b- u have to call them, can not seach online....and it is for a very limited area and time.
You can go to one of many RCI rental sites and get a better deal with more selections.

edit - what week is your Sheraton Orlando ??? - this greatly affects trade power in II and RCI.

Unfortunately, its a floating week, which I found is a bulk deposit week with not much power I am told. My other dilemma is if I bank this week with II, than I only get 1 week. If I bank with RCI, and don't like what is offered, I can give it to Wyndam and they will give me 154,000pts (which I could use in Wyndam or deposit back in RCI for about 3 weeks of travel and some weekends with Wyndam) for it and I still get the Bonus Week. My goal is to get another week in Aruba/Cancun/St.Martin or St.Thomas for 2010. I saw some on II but they were off season weeks (not summer time when I need it) so I am not sure what to do at this point, because if I bank with II and don't get a good trade I lose potentially 3 weeks of travel. Also, my friend that trades with II said sometimes you get better results by calling and doing a search than online.
