We purchased points from R.C.I., and were told you can easlily use a free V.I.P. week each year, or if we booked 45 days or less in advance, we may possibly a week’s timeshare for a third of our yearly points. I were originally phoning R.C.I. for your month prior towards the vacation, and then several times a day, the week prior to our dates. Finally, on the Wednesday prior to us leaving, I believed i was able to get a week in florida. I didn’t care where, as I already live here, and didn’t want to north. It as well darn cold.
