I owned a week, and was just upsold into upgrading to points (I still have my week but can use its points now). I paid a lot for the upgrade. Did I get scammed?
Related and really important question, how many RCI points does an average week in a 2-bedroom unit cost?
Thanks for looking! I've owned this since 2001 (RCI WEEKS) and haven't used in for the past several years due to limited time to vacation. 2024 Maintenance is paid. (It was $1087). I'm looking to give it away. I'm willing to also cover the closing costs using LT Transfers.

This video is for all the people who bought a timeshare and then realized they don't know how to use it. They are often angry at the timehare companies and themselves for caving in to the pressure from the timeshare salesperson. They might have considered dumping the timeshare.
If any of...
Trying too plan a big family trip. When I purchased an RCI Points timeshare, put 5 names on the Deed and that was also the max amount of names I was allowed too put on the RCI Account. Very confused about the RCI 1 in 4 Rule - does that mean 1 exchange per RCI account, or 1 exchange per Owner...
Hello!
I have done a lot of research and am strongly considering buying a free timeshare and then using it to trade for RCI points.
I'm considering a EOY Grandview timeshare so I'll get roughly 20k RCI points for roughly $200MF. You guys here on TUGs seem so knowledgeable, I've read every...

Hi, TUG! Recent follower, first-time poster. I've really admired the wonderful community and advice I see here, especially the "we don't blast" policy - which I'm going to lead with, because I feel very much like an idiot, and I'm hoping I won't be treated as such (i.e., please be gentle with...

When you convert HGVC point to RCI points, the RCI properties you get access are limited. Could someone explain how to get access to more RCI properties? Also seems the access to RCI properties one has access is harder to book. I am in Northern California and do see limited RCI locations and...
How many people can you add to your HGVC account, so they don’t need pay for “ Guest Certificates”?
How long it takes to add someone as a guest?
Thanks
Is there a good Timeshare system to compliment HGVC? Couple of ideas which come to my mind are:
.
-Wyndham.
- RCI point only membership.
- RCI with points and MF
Goal is more resort locations especially in West coast. HGVC has limited locations. Ownership not be expensive and low MF. Looking...
Hi - I just signed up for a timeshare. The agent who sold it mentioned that it would cost me $819 to exchange an rent a week in RCI. However when I look at the terms in the documentation, it is not clear on this. I am still in cancellation window and this is one of the key reason for my...
If i sell one of my 2 timeshares that is linked to RCI how does this work? Do i fill out the rci transfer form and specify i'm keeping my account and list only the timeshare i'm selling? Do I even need to do a transfer with RCI? Does the buyer just contact RCI for the ability to deposit? I'm not...

What's the likelihood of me getting multiple units at the same place for the same week in June of 2024? I'm trying to get my family of 12 to Hawaii using my points in summer of 2024. I have RCI TPU.
Has anyone bought Kingdom of the Sun, in Vidanta. Just used our first RCI week, it worked out ok. Is II better that RCI, if we choose to only keep 1, which should we keep? What are the major differences/benefits? Thanks for the advise so happy I found this forum!
Looking to sell my InnSeason Resorts Points Vacation Club.

Looking at an RCI exchange at Bonaventure. When looking for a 2-bedroom, I see two options: a unit that sleeps 6 (6/6) and one that sleeps 8 (8/8), however the resort info on both RCI and VV websites only mentions a 2-bedroom that sleeps 8. Wondering what the deal is here?
I have wyndham timeshare and previously I have transferred the points to RCI as I wasn't able to travel.
105K points are expiring on May 31, 2023 and I have no plans to travel.
Can you please advise what I can do with the points ? Thanks in advance.
Another way to extend your points is with the use of RCI. With RCI you can deposit your points into RCI and they will have an additional two years to be used within the RCI network. Hilton Grand Vacations and Worldmark / Wyndham come with RCI connections when purchased from the developer.

In the process of purchasing 2 units at Grandview, which will give me a boatload of annual RCI points. I've been digging around, and there are some things which are still confusing me. Please enlighten me if you can :p
I've seen different info regarding Last Call.
Based on what RCI has on their...
Hi all.
Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm still pretty new to this stuff.
Currently exploring resale ads on TUG, and I'm looking at a few which would include 90k+ points EOY. Am I missing something, or is that a really nice amount of points to work with? Upon first glance at the RCI exchange...
After the whole Covid year debacle I was happy to be able to burn up all my excess points that had accumulated from the previous year. I booked at Club Wyndham Smoky Mountains, Sieverville, Tn in October. I have finally started getting good to going to the "Update Meeting" invitation but I was...

Hi, I am an owner of 2 weeks, week 52 and 1 of a resort in Aruba and so far if I haven't gone there myself, I have been using the Redweek for renting my units. Up until now, I haven't had any issues and because these are popular weeks, I have always had it rented if I posted it myself, with no...
Hello I’ve been to both presentations (GB Cabo in March and currently am in flamingos in puerto Vallarta) and what seems appealing is the ability to exchange and also use these “Extra week” vacations via RCI or II anywhere from $199-599 (studio to 1 bedroom). We are possibly interested in...
