RCI Trading Power not visible??

Looking through the RCI site I don't see any TPU's associated with any of the resorts for dates of travel. Apparently you have to bank your time in order to see this or am I missing something? Seems like in past years I used to be able to see the trading power needed for an exchange without banking any time but now I don't. Kind of hard to decide if banking would be worth it without seeing how many TPU's it would take for an exchange.
 
Go to Manage your deposits, and you will see a calculator there for the resort you are thinking of depositing. But I can tell you that summer weeks at Grand Palms (formerly Plantation Resort) get about 64 points for depositing the two sides of the unit separately, if you have a 3 bedroom. It's still under $20 per TPU, but those deposits used to get 102 points. Those were the days!
 
Fair warning: it is possible that the TPU required to exchange in to a resort is different than the TPU awarded for depositing the same week. The calculator will give you an idea, but it won't be certain.

If you become a TUG Member ($15/year) you will get access to the Sightings board, where you can ask others to look things up for you; they can tell you the TPU values they see for some representative searches.
