What I find the most 'interesting' new feature of RCI's website

Now that we're all Loving the new enhanced RCI website, there is one new feature I find very interesting. It's being able to see each deposited week, and the number of possible exchanges each deposit gives you at any given time. Now for the interesting part..I currently have two weeks banked. Both are from the same resort, same unit and week. One is an '09 week, that I deposited back in March. The other is my 2010 week (same resort), that I banked 6 weeks ago. The '09 week that I deposited 7 months before the check-in date is pulling 9-10k more weeks than the 2010 week that was deposited 17 months before the check-in date. Now with RCI's long time preaching of the importance of depositing early to maximize your trading power, how can this result be correct???
Maybe I should call RCI, and ask 'WHY'. :eek: Kevin J.
 
are you using the exact same date ranges or are they different because of use dates?
 
Your October, 2010 deposit will continue to creep towards the numbers for the October, 2009 deposit until this October. Starting in November of this year, the 2010 deposit will start to show higher numbers. The difference right now is because your 2010 deposit can not trade for anything that is deposited currently that has a check-in date between today and October 1, 2009.

Thanks, I never thought of that. I've been a member of RCI since 1990, but never actually saw numbers assigned to banked weeks until recently.:cool: Kevin J.
 
The best way to see relative trading power is to pick a month that both units qualify for, like August 2010, and compare the numbers. How do they stack up then?

I don't buy RCIs "deposit early" mantra. Sometimes too early is not good either because there is no demand yet for that time period.
