I booked a two bedroom for July 13 2013 for my nephew and his family using a guest certificate on Monday. I used 17 TPU. Today I was searching in RCI and noticed the same week is now asking 33 TPU. It looks like summer weeks are now going for 33-38 TPU. Wow, that's a huge increase! Not far off from what Disney is asking.

I saw that too.:eek:
I booked a late June, 2 bedroom for 13 TPU's.
I'm shocked that they jacked up the TPU's so fast.
Luckily I booked it when I first saw it. :whoopie:

so the TPU's for WBC have essentially DOUBLED from last Summer? This, after doing the exact same thing with DVC? Once my banked TPU's are used I'm done w/RCI.

They were cheaper earlier this year when they first appeared.
I booked my unit this year.
I'm not sure what they were last year since I used my own Wyn points last year.
I'm EOY so this was a lucky break. :D

Supply and demand. You guys booked when the supply was higher than the demand, so the TPUS were lower. As units got snapped up, supply went down, so the TPUS went up.

Congrats on getting your exchanges when you did!

The July '13 banking came in in the teens, along with most other Orlando resorts. The very next day, they bumped into the 30s---to meet or exceed the few other "name brands" that have a thumb on the scales: Orange Lake, Vistana, and HGVC. That July banking is more or less still fully available in the spacebank.
