On a bit of the same page there, who would want to trade into the Sapphire? What a bad surprise that would be.

As for RCI, I dropped them several years back but have since rejoined. I also have an II membership. I find that one often works better than the other and since we travel a fair amount I like being able to take advantage of the extra vacation options. Last week, Vegas, in a bit over the month I got a place in Nashville for two weeks at a rate that is pretty low. So I take advantage of those benefits and it works for me. For trades, not always the best but we have done ok. Will be in Cabo in early April and their trade options were a lot better than II. Between the exchange cost and the new RCI merging points fee's (using weeks) it is more expensive than it used to be but I still feel we do fine but takes a bit more planning.

Not sure which I like better, II or RCI but right now RCI is on a roll for me and II has the back seat but I know that changes like the sand at Maho.

Cheers,
Todd
