If you really want to trade why not buy an RCI resort. I have bought them for $1.00. Yep, One buck.

Trades aren't always as easy as they appear. I ended up loosing weeks because we couldn't use or trade. When that happens it's REALLY no bargin then.

And don't sweat DVC being over run with RCI members. Remember, unless a DVC member trades out, there are no (almost anyway) weeks for DVC to trade to RCI members.

And when you consider the cost in points - a 2 bedroom is 207-270 points for a week. Figure just your annual dues on the points then add the $95 reservation fee and you are paying WAY more than the maint fees on most RCI 2 bedroom units. My highest maint fee was only about $800 for a 2 br gold crown in Orlando.

I'll rent my points and pay cash thank you very much.
