Finally, I have learned that if I don't bank my week, I can call another RCI resort directly and they will consider a direct exchange for a $60.00 fee. In fact...although RCI online will say there are no units available, I have learned that you can exchange if you call direct and offer an "unbanked week" in exchange. So banking and exchange are very much a direct service of resorts.

Wouldn't everybody like to do a direct exchange with an RCI resort directly for $60 and not have to deal with RCI and all their fees ???? I have never heard, in all the years I've been dealing with timeshares, of this kind of arrangement.

Exactly where/what do you own? Is it a travel club of some sort or do you actually own a week at a resort? The scenario above sounds nothing like anything to do with timesharing.

Exactly what would a resort do with an unbanked week from another resort? Resorts aren't exchange companies.

I think you've gotten some very wrong timeshare information from somewhere and you need to education yourself on the subject of timesharing before offering advice .... with all due respect intended.
