A week before the hurricane happened we puchased an extra vacation at FAVC for midFeb in Cancun . (This purchase has a cancellation fee of 30% up until 60 days before, and then a 50% fee, so any kind of insurance wasn't really considered nor even suggested/offered.) So today I could cancel and lose 30% and rebook my air, etc.
But, currently there does not appear to be any need to cancel as according to an RCI rep this morning the resort is supposed to be reopened by Dec 31 , and indeed as confirmation RCI is selling this resort as early as Jan 14 as an extra vacation right now--today. But I also have been told today by the same rep that if the resort does not reopen as they state after all, not letting us know even until very late in the game, that I would eventually lose my entire $1100 fee paid and get nothing.
Can this be the case? Is it feasible that someone could buy an extra vacation now operating on faith in RCI info and two months later be told sorry you've lost it all?
Who gets the money in such a case? The resort doesn't provide a service so I can't imagine them getting it. Does RCI just keep it?
This seems very unreasonable if true. How is an RCI member supposed to make a decision based on these probabilities?
