I have two questions re RCI.

1. Are there geographic restrictions between the Hawaiian Islands? For instance, can I deposit a week in Maui in exchange for a week on the Big Island?

2. If my home resort is not an affiliate in the RCI Points, only RCI Weeks, can I still participate in RCI Points and convert my weeks into RCI Points?

Thanks, any assistance greatly appreciated.

When you deposit ANY timeshare, it is converted to points, and you trade the points - doesn't matter where.

Just to be sure were are on the same page - all RCI deposits are points now.
Even weeks have a points value.

BUT - there are still two different points systems - and if you are in weeks - you will trade for other weeks.

See the article at the top of the forum for a link to an explanation of the new RCI points system for weeks.
