I was looking on the HGVC booking site at the points chart and I noticed a wide point discrepancy. Does anyone know why this is? Does anyone have any insight on the RCI resort fees?

The HGVC RCI portal uses a standard points allotment and 4800 points is what is normally used up for a RCI 2 bedroom red season booking. There is a $239 fee to trade your points into RCI for 7 nights. There probably are resort fees that you need to pay The Crane when you arrive.

Here is the fee schedule for a HGVC.
 
HGVC points are crazy stupid for this location. The cash option is also stupid. RCI or direct rental is a better option.
