    We have been owners and have quite a few points with Marriott Vacation Club and we were approached by RCI to sell our points/deeds and buy their into their (RCI) points. Have to admit the maintenance fees at Marriott are killing us and the fees for RCI are much lower. After the sales person...

    RCI properties not visible on HGVC portal

    I entered RCI via the HGVC portal and searched for #3622 for Hacienda Del Mar and it does not show up. Are HGVC participants not able to access the full RCI portfolio? Do we have to call this in? If this is not visible but available, it makes me wonder about other properties on RCI.
