We are Platinum on RCI and was wondering what you found the best way, most effective way to used the Platinum dollars? They do not offer attraction discounts in most of the places we go on vacation. We have over $300 to use.
Thanks for any suggestions...

I have found platinum dollars to be pretty much useless. I do occasionally use restaurant.com certs and the $25 is deducted from the total. The rebates that used to be offered were so much better than the worthless platinum dollars.

I agree. The places we travel there are no attraction discounts. Hopefully they will add more cities to their list. I have suggested they add Branson, Mo since there are so many timeshares there. Or it would be nice for them to apply it to your membership fees or Platinum fees.

We'll see if feedback@RCI listens:)!

You can't use the savings on attractions.

Wine

Restaurant.com

The hotels it seemed like the most I could use was about $5 off per night.
The Tour packages might give you $25 off a $3000 tour.
The Wine may give you a few dollars off but then has high shipping costs.

The attractions listed are just discounts of the regular price without using your savings dollars and you can find the same packages elsewhere.
