Having trouble finding family vacation ideas along the east coast that I like to do.
I would love to vacation along a lake where my kids can go swimming, kayaking and where I can rent speed boats and do some water sports or maybe rent a pontoon...
Newbie timeshare owner here! Wanted some advice on exchange company experiences. Pls share and provide your recommendations! I've heard of RCI and II. My timeshare is located in cabo. Thx
We were supposed check into Belair Beach on SXM on 9/23. Two weeks for us and a week for friends.
We changed last week to Royal Villas on the recommendation of a customer service rep at RCI. She said that once Belair cancels our reservation, our deposit weeks would be refunded as well as...
Hello
I am so glad I found this forum.
I was at a presentation today seriously considered purchasing and decided not to last minute after I came across this forum and read about resales. I am considering purchasing a resale.
I am an avid traveler however tend to travel last minute on...
I am a new resale owner and I'm trying to access the RCI portal but all it allows me to do is deposit points and I don't seem to be able to search RCI availability?
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...
The stories of how ARDA, a trade association that represents the interests of timeshare developers, and alleges to represent the interests of timeshare owners, increase in number and magnitude every year. It is clear, ARDA'S most influential constituency are timeshare developers, who are one of...
After much research on this site (and others) we decided to purchase a couple of contracts resale through eBay. We bought 168k biennial odd at Bonnet Creek ($680 all in) and 126k biennial even at Cypress Palms ($0 - winning bid was too low to bother with apparently). The Bonnet Creek transfer...
I am brand new to this site, so I apologize if this has been asked before or is the incorrect place to post my question.
I have Wyndham points (not weeks). I currently have an ongoing search request through RCI for DVC. I can't seem to find the information I'm looking for.
My question is...
[I'm sorry, but advertising/soliciting is not permitted in the discussion forums. I suggest that you post a want Ad in the TUG marketplace. For a list of other sites with resales, see the list at the top of the Buying, Selling, Renting Forum.]
I have a TLC Resorts timeshare that uses RCI points..im trying to get rid of this thing for months now and have no luck. Im actually giving it away for free and still can't rid of it. Is there a way i can just give it back to them. I tried before but all they keep telling me is that i have to...
Ok first of all, I know this was not a good idea in retrospect. My parents and I went to a "timeshare information" meeting on 06/15/2017 where we agreed to transfer our timeshare ownership to RCI platinum points via Florida Vacation Villas Club using Allied Solutions Group in hopes of...
My membership to both RCI and Interval have expired - so I need to rejoin one of them. I own at the Royal Sands in Cancun and the Lawrence Welk Resort in San Diego.
Any thoughts on which would be a better choice?
Are there any promos going on now?
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.
Has anyone got some good examples of Wyndham Points to RCI transfers?
Like how many points did you use and what place did you get for them through RCI?
I am trying to assess the benefit of RCI membership but having difficulty working out what you actually get for your points in real terms...
I’m trying to understand how the RCI "Weeks" membership program works. I haven’t paid for the RCI Weeks membership fee yet and would like to know more before I do. I am trying to figure out much trading power I will receive for my timeshare week. I have a one week 2-bedroom lock off at Le Reve...
Hello,
I have recently started managing my family's timeshare. We have a week at Vistana in Orlando that is managed (not sure if that is the term) with RCI. We have been paying and not using these much for a long long long time. I'm hoping to change that.
We currently have 102,000 RCI points...
Quick question: I am new to timeshares and I am planning on rescinding my contract this week with HGVC. I am wondering if I plan to buy resale in the future if I would have access to RCI last call?
I am a member of RCI and booked 2 weeks in Palm Springs for September 2017.
In the meanwhile, I want to divest myself of the timeshare that I own and posted it on Craigs List. I have a buyer and wondered if after the sale goes through, would I still be able to use the 2 weeks I booked for Palm...
Finally got RCI set up, now to do the impossible. Trade into Disney. I see where you can do an Ongoing Search, but how do you look up the codes? Or does anybody know the Disney codes?
My fiance and I decided to go to timeshare presentation in Vegas for the freebies and ended up deciding that the timeshare sounded right for us and what we want to do.
Now reading everyones reviews and opinions I'm getting very confused as to whether it was a good decision. From what I...
Hi, I am buying a RCI points timeshare. Will I be able to assume the sellers RCI account or do I get my own account and then transfer the points to me?
In the recent "owner updates" presentation, an agent told us that RCI charges $109 yearly fee for membership. As a Wyndham owner through resale market, I never see this RCI fee in the past 5 years of ownership. Is she telling the truth?
New here and i have a question about points. I have a weeks timeshare in miami that I bank every year and go to other resorts. Went though one of those hight pressure sales things in orlando a few days ago (I did not buy) thankfully. but it left me with a question on points resorts.
Is there...
