What are the priorities of Points members in searching the Weeks system for “crossover trades”?
Points member requests for Weeks exchanges have strong Trading Power, based on the fact that the Points system will provide a unit of sufficient Trading Power in return for the unit they confirm. This is based on our standard Trading Power Guidelines. If there are several Weeks members with strong Trading Power as well as a Points member searching, we will assume that they all have sufficient Trading Power to confirm the unit they are requesting. When a unit becomes available, it will match to the first account it circulates to in our system, without preference to the Points search. In the case where the Weeks members do not have sufficient Trading Power, the Points member will likely confirm the space first. This is based again on the fact that the Points system will provide a week that has sufficient Trading Power for the unit he confirms. The number of points required for the Points member to confirm that vacation is a separate issue and does not affect the Weeks program. RCI Points
