I have called RCI about doing a cruise and now i keep getting calls for something that sounds too good to be true. 1 week cruise 1 week resort discount on hotel points in my RCI ACCOUNT Extra cruises at a very deep discount. I think they were offering me this for $3500. Has anyone done this...

I love HGVC for many reasons, but I also have a non-HGVC RCI trader and have booked back into HGVC in the past and it is a great value. Now, there is a daily $25 resort fee at many HGVC resorts in RCI (affiliates are usually excluded). I have the option of exchanging into HGVC Las Vegas...

Hello all, I have used this BBS before for rentals and love the community. I am a four year owner of a low to mid demand week (46) in Texas (Sweetwater at Lake Conroe) that we always use for the Texas Renaissance Festival. This year, however, we may need to focus on my mother who is now in...

We just became TS owners but will not begin usage until 2020. I noticed many Western getaways are 1bdrm for occupancy of 4. We are a family of 7 but haven’t seen many deals for 2bdrms. Are getaways normally just 1 bdrm?

Just returned from Las Palmeras...not my favorite. We would like to be able to exchange hgvc through rci for a disney stay. The marketer indicated there was a new way for hilton users to book thru RCI. Does anyone have specifics on this? We did not go to an owners update. Last year we did an...

Looking to do a family vacation to Yosemite 2020. Since I will need to trade in either RCI or II, which exchange will actually give us the best options. Currently waiting for our Westin resale to finalize so I can start the booking process. TIA

We purchased our HGVC MarBrisa TS for open season and other perks. We are local and a large family so MF and location isn’t an issue. My questions are do I need a separate RCI membership to access other RCI properties? Wanting to maximize our exchange for multiple short stays, when is the...

Last year, we purchased timeshare week at massanutten resort, and affiliate of RCI. This year, they offered us an upgrade to RCI global point system. It will cost us about $5,500 and an increase and maintenance fees of about $150 a year. Advantages are access ability to more resorts, flexibility...

I own week 13 of a 2-bedroom lockout at Vacation Village at Parkway. I have never been to the resort, and have had problems utilizing the RCI points each year. I got tired of paying RCI annually (plus fees to exchange, when I was able to travel), so I cancelled my RCI membership and converted...

Hello Everyone, We were looking at going to the Caribbean / Antilles in the March time period and found several All Inclusive resorts available along with mandatory daily fees averaging from $180-$225 PPPN. Just from looking at the fees at a per person/per night cost, it seems like using HGVC...

I confess to being frugal , but the fees keep going up and the service is just OK. What are your thoughts on this? When you add the exchange fee to your maintainance fees ...ouch it might be cheaper to rent a week

Hi there. We are longstanding RCI members and have been to WDW 3 times at Christmas using RCI Points. First, we stayed in OKW (2010), then offsite (2013,2016). We are platinum members and have an ongoing search for ALL WDW properties with check-in dates for Dec 20-29. I am fine with a 1 bedroom...

Howdy. We have had Shell/Hawaii for many years, generally a positive experience. Have used our points every year, usually for Kauai. Never had to use Interval, and now I’m hearing Interval is out, as of 2019, and RCI is back as partner. Anybody have any input with this? I’m less than pleased...

I could not find a thread for this - so sorry if I missed it. I have an RCI account that is still a 'weeks' version. I thought I used or booked all my current weeks. Was looking over the confirmation to get all the plans for January on the calendar - and I see I have trading power of 20. SO...

I am new to timesharing (newbie HGVC owner). I live on the East Coast and have been looking to snag a weekend in NYC at HGVC W 57th or possibly the Residences bHC. Since I have been watching things, it seems hard to do through HGVC if you don't own at those properties AND can't be done more than...

Hi! I recently purchased a Platinum points ownership at Welks San Diego (Escondido). I was told that I could trade 1 day at Welks San Diego for 1 bonus week through RCI, just by simply as making a phone call and booking the one night stay locally. Trade 1 day at Welks for 1 night at an RCI...

So I'm trying to make a reservation for 3rd-10th but its only available 2nd - 10th. The extra day costs an extra 15% of points and isn't worth wasting. if the unit is available on the 2nd, why can't it be available on the 3rd? To make matters worse, they will let me reserve the 4th-10th!!! WTF

I have not been able to access RCI from my HGVC portal for a couple of days now. It comes of with a "Technical difficulties" message. Is anyone else seeing this? I'm used to RCI being down for short periods of time for maintenance, but usually not multiple days. Kurt

Hi All, First of all, I want to give a big "thank you" to the people who run this forum. It has greatly helped ease my mind about this whole process! Update: 122,000 timeshare has been spoken for. I've modified the post to reflect this. We are giving away our Grandview at Las Vegas timeshare...

I am kind of intrigued by the opportunity through RCI to buy weekend trips and short stays very cheaply. Those would be great for my wife and me because I work a LOT and my time off has pretty short notice sometimes. Would it be a good idea to get a cheap timeshare off of eBay and use that as...

I am new to the timeshare game and I have spent the past 9 months acquiring Wyndham points contracts through the TUG Marketplace and eBay. As a result I now have 262000 points for 2018 that I will not be able to use before the end of the year. Are there better options than just depositing the...

HELP! Our RCI membership expires today. We're brand new to this (the timeshare was given to us) and need to know if it is worth the $124.00 for 1 year membership. We also have 88 points that expire today unless we extend them through RCI. Is it worth the 134.00 to extend them for 1 year?

We were sorry to see you go, but we'd like to introduce you to the newest addition to RCI's family of brands and an alternative vacation exchange option... Apparently, DAE is part of RCI now. "We were sorry to see you go.." I haven't left yet! Membership expires next year, but I'm currently...
