I surrendered my timeshare a few months ago back to the timeshare company. I still have my RCI membership and have 165,205 RCI point that I would like to sell so I can close out my account. How can I sell those points and roughly what could I get for them?

I am no expert - but I have seen RCI points listed on TUG for a penny a point .
Not sure if you will be able to get that / or it is the amount folks would like when they
post an advertisement .

No reason to sell your RCI points or close up RCI account just because you surrendered the timeshare.

You can keep RCI independent of the timeshare.

Might be worth retaining it even if no new points will flow to you through the timeshare. Still lots of deals to be had through RCI without use of points.

You’ve actually achieved a status some folks desire. Getting into RCI without an attached annual MF to a timeshare.

Your only expense going forward is the annual RCI membership fee and any trips you may book.

Thanks B & K. That's really good advice!

Take a look at Last Calls and Extra Vacations. These are cash paid weeks through RCI. You need to maintain a membership, and can use whatever points you have in the account. If you see value there, keep the membership active. OR You can transfer points to 'family and/or friends'. Since you won't be getting any new ones they're unlikely to bust you for selling them to strangers.

Your call.
