What does this article have to do with RCI?

 

[Rose Pink]

Maybe because you get promises to trade for timeshares in nice locations but they never seem to be available when you request them?

Sorry, sometimes my sense of humor is a bit dark.

I posted the article to show that there are unscrupulous private parties out there that rent places that don't exist. Innocent people become victims.

RCI is an unscrupulous public company that steals your deposited week to bolster their rental program. If you rent from them, the place DOES exist, even if they got it underhandedly. Innocent depositors are the victims.

It was mostly meant as a "renter beware" semi-humorous post.

The joke always loses its humor once you have to explain it.

Thank you! I was beginning to think after all these years that I was losing my touch. LOL!
