Hi
@magjrl,
There is a way to have access to some of the inventory that is found in RCI without having to own a timeshare.
There are a couple of websites that offer rentals for unused timeshare weeks around the globe. The first two sites listed below are available to anyone:
Our members enjoy exclusive travel benefits, including discounts on Hotels, Resorts, Car Rentals, Air and More. Tripbeat Travel Club lets you travel however and wherever you want, all at a discounted rate.

The Armed Forces Vacation Club is available to active duty, guard, reserve and retired US military and civilian employees of the Department of Defense.
AFVC offers active and retired military exclusive travel savings on resorts, car rentals & more. Free membership is one small way we thank you for your service.
www.afvclub.com
The Heroes Vacation Club is available to first responders: police officers, firefighters, EMT’s, paramedics.
Exclusive travel savings for current and former medical professionals, police officers, firefighters, teachers, government employees, and their spouses.

The inventory for all of the above is just about the same. It is mostly off season weeks Being offered. But it is one way to stay in a timeshare without having to purchase one. And when I used the AFVC to stay at timeshares before I owned one, there was no pressure to attend a presentation.
