So in a previous thread there was discussion about whether you could only deposit the week you owned with HGVC for trading or if you could book a week and deposit that. After reading all the posts I still am unclear about the rules. Can someone please help me understand what is correct. Thanks

If you plan to trade with RCI, you do not trade a week for a week. You trade HGVC points to RCI. You just call HGVC and ask for your trade and they take from your account, the correct number of points, based on the season and size of unit you're requesting. (ie. 5000 pts for a 2 bd, red season RCI trade) Note: that the number of points they take from you is less than the number of points you'd have used to reserve a similar sized unit during that season.

If you want to trade with SFX, then you are expected to deposit the week you own into SFX. But, there has been some news lately, that you can now use your HGVC points to reserve any HGVC unit and trade that unit within SFX.

Hope that helps

Thanks for the reply Bill. I forgot to put in my original post that I would be depositing this week into SFX as an exchange. So it sounds like you got the same impression I did that maybe you can reserve any week and deposit it, but it was left unclear. I was looking a definite answer if this would be okay or not.

I found the thread with the new info for SFX here it is As I said, the new policy seems to be you can use your HGVC points to reserve any HGVC unit and deposit that unit into SFX.

It does seem to be better if you don't tell HGVC what your doing, just do it and let SFX work it out with HGVC.

Hope that helps

What about exchange fee in using SFX?

The total cost to use SFX for HGVC points is...

HGVC Reservation $49 (in case of Club Reservation) + SFX Fee $149 = $198. And if I cannot use the reservation, SFX can issue Guest Certificate at $39 for renting. Could be better choice than RCI. Am I correct?
