I have been up to Shell VC Vino Bello (Napa, Ca.) two or three times doing an exchange through ii. I have a request in place (ii) and no hits. It seems like all ii inventory is gone and has been shifted to RCI.
Has anyone made any exchanges this year for Vino Bello through ii?
Shell (now owned by Wyndham) as of 1/1/2019 trades in RCI (now owned by Wyndham). As PP states, the Shell External Exchange website provides a link at the very top for us to transfer any points deposits previously made into II from there to RCI. So I doubt you’ll see any Vino Bello deposits in II unless there are deeded weeks that are allowed to deposit independently from Shell.

Right on. And there are no deeded weeks in Shell's Vino Bello. All Shell that was originally Shell, and not part of a different program will always be in RCI from this day forward, so enter your OGS there to get Vino Bello. However, you will still see resorts like Peacock Suites in II, maybe even some in Arizona, too, because a lot of people own deeded weeks from a time before it was Shell.

Thanks for the information - it's good to know that history. I have a question for you, though. Kona Coast Resort II trades in both II and RCI, so near as I can tell. My parents bought their weeks there from Shell and traded them in II for a number of years and then in RCI. I'm now co-owner of those weeks and have been wondering whether I'd be able to deposit them into II if I wanted access to Marriott, etc. (I'd buy a membership in II of course.) Do you know whether we're limited to trading in RCI now since they bought from Shell, or are we at liberty to trade in either II or RCI?
