RCI just put out an updated Points list dated June 25, 2021 that now has weeks 37-45, 51, and 52 as 1 BR 61,000 point weeks.
Previously, weeks 37 and 51 were 49,000 point weeks and are now 61,000 point weeks.
Previously, week 50 was a 30,500 point week, it is now a 49,000 point week
Previously, week 2 was a 30,500 point week and is now a 40,000 point week.

1 Bedroom weeks
Weeks 1, 48, 49, 53 30,500 points
Weeks 2-7, 46, 47 40,000 points
Weeks 8-36, 50 49,000 points
Weeks 37-45, 51, 52 61,000 points

I'm in the process of purchasing a week 38, 61,000 point week and was concerned about the point value dropping if/when RCI modified them. I feel better now, seeing that week 37 is now the low end of the 61,000 point weeks.

Wow, I had never considered that point values could be adjusted down. I think I have a week 40 grand view and a week 28 at woodstone that have points attached.

The changes to the RCI point table for Grandview were nothing compared to the new points table for Woodstone. Woodstone previously had 5 different week ranges and now has 14 different week ranges. Most of the changes don't seem to affect the point value ranges though. Week 28 is in the same point range. A really crazy change is to week 47, it was in the 54,000 - 59,500 point for 2br range and is now 19,000 - 59,500 points for the 2br range. How can there be such a wide range in points for the same week?

Do you have a link to the new list?

I found it. https://www.rci.com/static/docs/en_US/pow/help/rci-points-grids.html
wow putting them in order of rci resort number (basically when they became associated with rci) is a pain.

So when there is range, the question is, is that representing different configurations of the same size unit or that rci can change the amount for trading in (and would that affect how many points someone gets for their unit or is the sliding scale only for weeks inventory at the resort?

I'm not sure how the points range works. It's pretty straightforward for Grandview, with a given number for a range of weeks. Lots of resorts have a range of points values for a range of weeks.

This is my first time getting into RCI Points, and I was noting the wording in the paperwork for the week. The wording used was "currently" for the RCI Points value, which implied to me that it could change, and the wording didn't state it couldn't drop in the number of points.

Now they have something interesting to cover in the next “My Massanutten” [formerly “Carved in Stone”] Woodstone newsletter.

Looks like changes to my week 29 will be minimal if any.

My partial kitchen 2 BR side of a luxury unit currently gets me 1000 less points than the 64,000 now listed as the minimum for a 2 BR.

Will RCI or Grandview notify points owners of any changes in points values at the owners' units ?

Is there a way to determine the week number of a Grandview unit by Grandview contract number? Or do I have to get out the deed & see what that says ?

The purchase documents stated the week number and “current” RCI Points for me. I don’t have a contract yet to know what that states. Sounds like good news for anyone who has a Grandview week 37 unit. What was a 49,000/98,000 week is now a 61,000/122,000 week.

I guess, if nothing else, the should know when their next points are deposited. (I don’t have an RCI Points account yet, so I’m guessing how it works).

I wonder what is driving point inflation for these weeks.

Anyone notice if it is across the board or just for VV associated properties? (We have long known/suspected VV drove deals with RCI to have higher point values for the weeks they sell.)

I wonder if these shoulder weeks are truly more in demand (relative to everything else) or if perhaps RCI saw some general need for point inflation and a great time to do it is to smooth things out when demand for properties is high and many people have saved up a couple of years of points?

I actually saw the change for the start of peak Las Vegas weeks in points go from week 38 to week 37 across the board for all Vegas resorts. I'm not sure how it works for different regions.

They changed every resorts/area.
They don't just increased some weeks. Some weeks decreased at some resorts too like week 42 at this resort

Moderators, this discussion likely should be moved to the exchanging timeshares forum versus the VV forum. RCI has rebased/updated point values across the board for resorts versus something specific to the VV family of resorts.

Looks like regal vista remained the same. I have week 29 and the two bedroom is still 89K

I'm not sure about the other weeks, but I would guess the large range for week 47 would have to do with the few years when Thanksgiving falls during week 46. This is a loophole that can be gamed in many points based systems. Maybe there are small fluctuations during other parts of the year caused by recurring events in Vegas or points that need to be balanced due to the odd week 53?

TPUs under RCI Weeks work that way, but RCI Points contracts do not. They are the same number of points year in and year out, I guess until a rebasing comes along.

Makes sense, I’ve only been an owner since 2020. The second chart you showed is the chart I’ve seen since I began looking to buy in 2020.

I am quite concerned as I own week 47 in a 4 bed at Regal Vistas as Massanutten - However, when I logged into my RCI account, it says that my 2021 Point allocation is still 151,000 RCI Points? Now I wonder, is this because they said it was worth that much in 2019/2020 and they have to offer it for 2021 and we will see changes in 2022? Not sure what is happening with week 47 but hopefully I wont be stuck with a dud.... Also, RCI says in my account available for Next Use Year which I assume is 2022, will also be 151,000 ?? My anniversary month is also July but it says Use year Oct 1 2020 - Set 30, 2021. Not sure how RCI is rolling this out...

I wonder if the fact that Vegas now has an NFL team had anything to do with the increase in the fall weeks?

I had wondered the same thing. But, only home games would have greater demand. Those weeks would change from year to year. I guess the reaction would be revalue all weeks in the NFL season or leave as is to keep things simpler.
