Can you post some examples. I have heard others say it is best to have both TPUs and points, because one currency may be worth more at different times.
Now that we've downsized to only just 1 triennial 1BR points timeshare, I have only recollections from the old days when we were in both points & weeks -- i.e., no current examples.
Before the TPU system emerged into the daylight after being kept hidden so long in the remote recesses of RCI -- it took a lawsuit to get TPUs out in the open -- we went ahead with
Points For Deposit for a while even after a nuisance fee was added for doing it. Then we caught on that the trading value from TPUs from our weeks deposits could be worth at least as much as the trading value of the points we would get via
Points For Deposit, & without paying a nuisance fee.
About the same time, our 1 remaining straight-weeks RCI timeshare -- a South African former
tiger trader -- converted itself to a non-timeshare resort, making our ownership essentially worthless. After we quit paying the levies, all communications from the timeshare ended, & that was that. We assume they launched some administrative or judicial process against us that resulted in a judgment forfeiting our ownership. However that may be, we never heard anything from them ever again & so our ownership of the unit which we formerly used for
Points For Deposit was done.
Not only that, our experience doing TPU-based exchanges is essentially nil. Straight week-for-week trades worked fine, as did
Points For Deposit. Now all we have is 1 points unit, & zero current TPU examples for comparison.
