Can I give away TPU's from RCI when I give away a timeshare?

Over the last few months I have been successful in changing my timeshare portfolio, giving them to fellow tuggers. I have a few more to give away and hopefully they go as easily as the others.

I started thinking what if they don't, what are my options. I know others have suggested paying the maintenance fee for a year.

I have so many RCI tpu's I was wondering would I be able to transfer part of them when I gave a week away?

On the weeks side, the only info. I've been able to find is in the "Disclosure Guide," which is found on the RCI front page, clear to the bottom. On page W4, they list the fees as $98, and the same fee applies to a complete membership transfer to those who are interested.

Before the last site changes, I used to be able to locate forms to fill out for this, but can't find them now.

You can give away, but you do pay the transfer fee. Many years ago I transferred a banked week to someone. I only have 73 tpus left, so I keep being tempted by these offers but I know my husband won't be able to travel too many more years.

Several kind people have given me TPUs. I've paid the transfer fee, of course. The fee is high enough that it's only worth doing for a substantial number of points.

Wish I knew someone like that!
