got email from RCI asking my opinion about a specific and " different type of exchange" coming in a few months..

When i got in it asked what other type of vacation places i owned..

timeshare
RV
whole owned condo
and some other

I just clicked timeshare and it said thanks and that was it.. guess they are looking for folks with maybe RV's or other thing.

how did it react when you did survey??

seem like i was the only person to get the survey. It appears RCI is now in the homeshare business according to another email I received as well..
I guess we will find out more in the future.

I did not receive the survey. That said, no surprise they would be consider getting into a business model similar to AirBnB.

They bought a home share trading company. Presumably they want to add timeshares to that network and homeshares to the timeshare network to try and get more exchange fees.
