These are units that had to be deposited on the weeks side since they are available in a pure weeks search. However, since at least 1 points account has been sold at the resort, they are not eligible to be placed in the pool for points members searching for weeks.

Yes that is on the short list of Points Ain't All That.
Try getting any of the Aug/Sep 2009 weeks deposits in Manhattan Club with points.
You can't even see them. Manhattan Club is a Points Resort.
I wrestled with that in the beginning but have come to accept it.
Another on the short list is you can't search earlier than 10 days out from today. This is not huge because if you can see it from the weeks side at 4 days + you can call a Points rep to book at the el cheapo points rate.
Like I said before. There aren't many bad things but there are a few annoyances.
The key to being truly great within the RCI system is too fully understand the systems and find the weaknesses and nuances.
I want to thank you so much for explaining that 9k vs 7.5k thing. That was driving me BATS!
