Weeks.Weeks or points?
I just got a twitter tweet from them sayingWe're in process of transferring membership from my dad to my sister and me (losing paid membership in the process), and the online form says 1 year is $99. I hope they haven't changed it!

"Hi Steve, yes, there is an enrollment fee. You may submit an enrollment application online using an e-mail form on our website. Click on:
Our current RCI Weeks subscription rates in US dollars are: 1 year - $99 2 years - $179 3 years - $249 5 years - $399"
But I don't see an enrollment fee listed anywhere on anything, and this tweet doesn't really explain it either.
To begin a brand new RCI points account is $222 and includes the first year's membership. That would be the enrollment fee. It's in the several pages of smaller print along with the MTA form. To transfer a week from one person's RCI points account to someone else's existing points account is $98. Transferring both the week and the RCI account along with it saves the person getting the week money.
With prices like theirs I'm surprised that people are still sticking around.Well, I tried one more time today. Got online chat, asked what it cost to join RCI as a new Weeks member, she said "$99 for 1 year". I said great, and she sent me a link to the join page. So I clicked on the link, and went to the page and signed up. $159 for 1 week, no $99 price anywhere! I was still on line with her, so I asked about it, and she went away for about 5 minutes (sounds like the "let me go talk to my manager" scam). She came back and said "the price JUST went up to $159". So bait and switch, and another 60% price increase!
I agree. I've been finding that even their prices for Extra Vacations have gone up substantially. Perhaps it isn't true everywhere, but for resort stays in the area where I usually vacation, their prices used to be comparable to II Getaways but now seem to be quite a bit more.With prices like theirs I'm surprised that people are still sticking around.
