In your quest for knowledge keep in mind that RCI and II are not your only trading options. There are some smaller trading companies out there like DAE, TPI, and VRI*TY to name a few.

Some don't use trading power and some do. I use DAE almost exclusively. The exchange costs are lower than the big two but the availability is nowhere near what the big two offer.

Despite what Denise said about Orlando being overbuilt, DAE lists it as one of their Prime Time areas and often gives extras when depositing one. The last couple of years I got 2 exchanges for each deposit. When I locked off my unit I got 4 exchanges for my week.

Keep asking questions and studying, it takes a lot o

f time.

Sorry that you did not include Platinum interchange as another exchange company option. I am using them almost exclusively... They seem to have more USA inventory than DAE, and we always get two weeks for one deposit .

If you expect to be able to trade into DVC through RCI, please keep in mind that DVC enforce a 30mile rule. This means that any timeshare resort located within 30miles of a DVC resort is not able to trade into DVC.

This does however not count toward HGVC since HGVC uses a corporate account. But it does count towards alot of others.

Please investigate this prior to buying, and consider to use it toward DVC.

Regards.
