Grand Luxxe
I’m not sure if this is the right area to post my question but I know I can count on the folks here to answer my question and clear up any confusion I have.
We purchased a Grand Luxxe Master Suite earlier this year and although we soon started to get the phone calls from Vida to upgrade our membership and we are registered with SFX our paperwork for The Registry Collection was not processed. Finally, after a few reminders, we are now set up with them and have a few (I hope not too lame) questions.
While we were waiting to be able to join, I visited the Registry Collection non-members site which offered point values for resorts within the collection and there was a PDF showing many, many other Signature Selection resorts that would be available to trade into. For future planning I wanted to know the trading value of my GL unit.
Now that I am finally enrolled lot of the information is not available to me when I login to the Members section. I checked with RC and they advised (correctly?) that my GL ownership was at the top of the food chain and I that I didn’t have to worry about any point values or season. I could trade into any resort in the Collection, subject to availability of course, as well as any other RCI property. There are no point value restrictions I just had to call RC to check on availability.
Since many of the RC resorts are of lesser point value (according to the non-members site) and others that are more costly. Can anyone verify that this information is actually correct. Is it correct that I can trade into a Vidanta 4br loft if available or to the upper limits of other high value property? What happens if I trade into a lesser point value resort? Is there any refund of the points?
I would appreciate any guidance from those with RC experience. Thanks.
