I’m looking at buying a timeshare to exchange through rci for points.
1. What are the lowest mf and highest points timeshares available for rci exchanges
2. What are the rci exchange fees? If you have enough points for 3 weeks of travel do you pay a exchange on every week. ( example grandview...

Good Morning,
I attended my very first timeshare presentation yesterday at Wyndham, Williamsburg, VA. I totally fell for the presentation without doing my usual research and due diligence. (I know,-STUPID!) Since I still have 6 more days to back out, I'm asking for assistance.
Note: I have...

Lack of gym in facility, grills, bar, rest. etc....

Hello, so back in Aug of 17 I went on a Hilton timeshare tour And ever since RCI has been contacting me today I picked up and listen to what they offered. They offered 4 trips two to Florida the other as international trips one being all inclusive originally for just under 800 and then knocked...
1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where? -> I travel with friends to Canada (Whistler/Banff) annually for snowboard trips!
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the...
We've owned our Wyndham/Fairfield TS for little over 10 years and have gone to many of the resorts within the Wyndham system. However, I am curious about RCI exchanges and wondered if those of you experienced with the WYN-RCI connection/portal would have any recommended reading so that I could...
Hello we impulse bought an RCI points based time share with a the home resort in a ski village in Ontario Canada. Deposit paid, one year MF paid and just want to have another individual take over the succeeding payments. Can this be done? How? Where?
I sold all of my Wyndham contracts over the past few months but before I did I deposited some points into RCI.
I used to access my RCI points through the Wyndham site but now have no access to the Wyndham site.
I can call RCI to use the points but I (nor RCI) can figure out how I can access my...
Does anyone know of a good source of information for RCI points membership?
Things like best way to use them and what represents good value in terms of MF’s?
Thanks in advance.
I put a week on hold for a Saturday check-in, but once I got to the hold page, it was for the following day. Flights to Cancun are easiest on Saturday, but the hold reservation and online info all said a Sunday check-in. I replicated the process with a dozen other resorts and days and found the...
Hi All,
I was wondering if someone could walk me through the different aspects of booking a vacation through RCI. I see the exchange vacations which I'm guessing is for points but what about the other two options? Also, I saw some vacations had a fee like 200 is that nightly and then even a...
Brand New to Tugs. I was gifted a 13 week (weeks) timeshare; studio.. Attitash Grand Summit. Joined RCI and signed up as a Platinum member. I do not use the timeshare since I own a home nearby. So I put all 13 weeks into the timeshare rental program. If I were to do nothing else with the...
Anyone have any experience with this company? I received a cold call from them last week. Their sales pitch made it sound like they were affiliated with RCI although it's clear from the agreement they sent they are not. Basically they are offering to lease my unused RCI points for a percentage...
Hi, I need some advice and answers for my situation. I'm trying to buy 4800 Vegas Blvd with Hilton through SaleMyTimeshareNow. I got a great offer accepted for $2000 BUT Samuel with Selling Timeshares says there is no way that it will pass ROFR. Is he right? Is there not any chance it will...
Hello
I'm trying to know availability and prices of rci resorts (without book) but i haven't a membership.
Maybe someone can share me his credentials to see that information. I'm not interested in booking, because i use another engine to book with my own credentials, but it would be perfect if...
hi tuggers
Turns out that hgvc has instituted a new $25 resort fee Pr day for all inbound RCI trades. The fee is in affect as of 16th of January so all confirmed RCI reservations from this date going forward will need to pay.
Hopefully some or most of the money will go toward the owners mf but...
i have week 4 in the fountain area
its for 2019 and would like to trade for mexico or hawaii

how do you list it on interval international?
We just conducted a test where we had a friend log into their RCI account at the same time we logged into our HGVC RCI account. We each conducted an exchange search for Cabo San Lucas in July/August 2018. We were shocked to find that our friend had 8 pages of listing when we only had 8 resorts...
Hello everyone! My wife and I are new RCI Platinum members and just booked our first points vacation. We are staying in a 2 BR at Sheraton Vistana Villas near Disney. When booking online we were able to choose other resorts as possible upgrades as the time got closer (June 3-10) so we selected 5...
To get free ongoing searches without being an RCI Platinum member...
Put a unit on hold by going through all the required steps. Go back into "My account" and release the hold. At the bottom, check the box to keep an ongoing search and select any reason why you are releasing the hold...
I am currently staying at a Wyndham resort in the south. I already have enough timeshare vacation ownership and do not need anymore. The salespeople at the resort have said that:
(1) after the upcoming 2018 Wyndham split, the timeshare inventory in RCI will be significantly reduced which will...
In RCI, I used to be able to search up to 40 resorts at once then save that under "Favorites". Online help says I cannot do that anymore. Either she doesn't know her own website or RCI's "upgrades" have stripped one of the only functional tasks from their website.
Maybe there is a workaround...
Hi! My SO and I signed up for Club Wyndham in July and have not been able to use our points this year so we'd like to transfer them to the RCI part of our membership. I went to register on the RCI website, but the number it's looking for is different than the one for Wyndham [our account manager...
Hi All! I noticed a few threads on Silver Lakes (SL), but nothing addressing the Travel Club. I was sold a timeshare three days ago that seems to be what I'm looking for but I fear i may have overpaid and need to rescind (seven days left).
So it was 47,120 points that cost $15k with $600...
Hi everyone, Im kind of new to time-sharing and most of your discussions and articules have given me a good broad idea of how they work and where the potential hazards may be. However, after reviewing for several hours the discussions in this forums I would deeply appreciate if you experts can...
