RCI points - Wndham club/Bluegreen

[labstech]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum and also to the world of timeshare ownership. After some research, I’ve decided to purchase a timeshare unit at Grandview at Las Vegas because the maintenance fees (MF) to RCI points ratio seems quite favorable.

To clarify, I don't plan on visiting the resort itself—I’m purchasing purely with the goal of maximizing RCI points for exchanges in other resorts.

I’d really appreciate advice from those with experience in this area. Specifically:

1. How does the conversion of Wyndham or Bluegreen points to RCI points work?
2. Are there any additional fees involved in the process? For example, if I have 100,000 Wyndham points, how many RCI points would that give me?
3. Does anyone know of a more cost-effective way to acquire RCI points than purchasing a Grandview at Las Vegas unit?

Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge and insights. I look forward to learning from your experiences!

They do not convert. They remain their own currency, and exchanges are denominated in that currency. Worse, the relative values of two different exchanges are not necessarily related to the ratio in RCI Points.
