Another way to extend your points is with the use of RCI. With RCI you can deposit your points into RCI and they will have an additional two years to be used within the RCI network. Hilton Grand Vacations and Worldmark / Wyndham come with RCI connections when purchased from the developer.

In this Video, I show how you can actually save money by using RCI to book a week at a Sheraton in Orlando through RCI as compared to booking it with the Vistana or Marriott websites. I also show how to book a last call reservation. Below is the review of the location that I demoed booking in the video.

This is true but we never seem to have a problem using our 90K+ Worldmark Credits.

RCI is a great way to extend your points and contract your wallet. (Exchange fees, and the fee to deposit points if you go that route.)

I have found if you do RCI much, having an efficient RCI trader is an even more affordable approach than trading in through a mini system.

Me neither... I use all my points... But sometimes it is nice having another option
