Author	Topic: Weeks and Points Membership understanding "Joint Membership"

I have also tried to find the answer in the Rules and disclosure documents, but have not found the answers. What are the numbers of additional members allowed as "Joint Members" on a Weeks account and a points account? Are there differences in what is allowed between a member and a "joint member"? For example: Can both type of members spacebank their resorts and do exchanges. [This message has been edited by cclendinen (edited 02-10-2004).] IP: Logged

All subscribers have the same privileges. Because the Weeks system only holds two names, it may be necessary for a Guide to complete any Weeks exchanges for your joint subscribers to be sure that their names appear on the confirmations. ------------------ ~ Madge IP: Logged

I assume that any of the seven members listed on a points account can have the exchange listed in their names without paying for a guest certificate. If this is correct and if a week's account comes with a points account, shouldn't all seven of the points account members be able to have there name on a resort papaer work for a weeks exchange through the week's account even if they are not one of the two members listed on the weeks account. And should they also not have to pay for a guest certificate? IP: Logged

When you have a separate Weeks account, only the two subscribers listed on that account can be served (plus spouses) unless a Guest Certificate is purchased. ------------------ ~ Madge IP: Logged

I am not speaking of the Weeks exchange benefits that are part of an RCI Points membership. When you are using points for exchange transactions, all subscribers on the Points account can be served. ------------------ ~ Madge IP: Logged

If I am the RCI Points account holder and the account is only in my name, I book the resort but my spouse visits the resort by herself with friends, then this would not require a Guest Certificate, correct? I realize that for simplicity sake, I could simply add her to the membership, but if I do not want to, then would a signed letter be sufficient? IP: Logged

If they anticipate any trouble (say the last names don't match), they might want to bring along a letter or copy of the marriage certificate. ------------------ ~ Madge IP: Logged
