After several months of mostly patiently waiting, our deed is fully transferred and our RCI points are active for our shiny used Grandview unit. Thanks to tschwa2, CPNY, and others who answered so many questions and helped me get things going in the right direction for my first timeshare purchase. I'm going to be spending the next several days familiarizing myself with the RCI site and trying to figure this all out. Any suggestions for maximizing the use of my points would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I'm going to see if we can book a couple of fun trips to start using this thing. Also, if anyone is interested, I took over this ownership with the assistance of Karrie Ann at Timeshare Consultants. They have a page on Facebook, and she was awesome to deal with.

One thing I do to get the most vacations from our points is to look in the "under 10,000' in the "Points Range" section in the filters on the left side of the page after you are in the Exchange section. Those discounted stays are usually just studios or 1 bedroom units and not always at Gold or Silver Crown resorts and often, but not always, with check-ins in the next month or 2. Since we are retired and can travel at relatively short notice we often book them. I have even booked 2 consecutive weeks at the same resort for less points than booking several months in advance would have required for 1 week! Also keep in mind that a stay of 8 to 13 nights has the same exchange fee as a 7 night stay, and no housekeeping fees!
