Question: do you only pay 1 membership fee $159/year for any number of weeks you deposit? Is there a limit on how many weeks you can deposit with 1 membership?
 
Yes, we only pay one membership fee. We own two weeks, but there isn’t any mention of how many weeks we own and could potentially deposit when we’re billed for renewal of our membership.
 
I have 3 resorts associated with RCI. They all deposit points to my 1 account. I only pay 1 membership fee.
 
I don't believe there's a limit on the number of weeks you can deposit, but EACH exchange you make will result in an exchange fee being levied. Which makes the roughly $300 all in Last Calls a lot better buy than the last minute 7500 RCI point exchanges plus an exchange fee.

Not all resorts can be combined into a single RCI membership so it’s worth double checking while planning your ownership strategy. Mine cannot be combined in RCI and I have 2 points memberships and 1 weeks membership all from the same resort.
 
For the most part all weeks deposits can combine into a single rci weeks account as long as they are deeded the same way. It is usually points accounts that don't combine with other points or weeks unless they are from the same developer/system. Most independent rci points accounts can combine into a single rci points account but even then there are a few developers that offer slightly modified rci points accounts that won't combine with others.
 
I will admit that 2 of my resorts are from the same system, Vacation Village. But, the other is from Divi and was owned before the others.

Makes me wonder what is the criteria that allows some to be combined to a single RCI account and forced to be separate.

Adding some email correspondence from RCI on my situation. Interestingly, after this correspondence I added another membership at the same resort with 295 RCI weeks available for exchanging and they allowed me to make it a Platinum RCI account.
