Premier Resort Services Isa legitimate company. They are offering to rent out your RCI Extra Vacation GetWays, not your time share. You can lend, gift, or rent up to six of these weeks. The associated vist us east you would pay to use the week. Premier charges a higher rate to the renter wich us how you make money. Yes, there are scammers, but this isn't one of them.

Scammers also create new profiles on forums and post more lies about their company. Despite your best attempts, they/you are a SCAM. As others have posted, renting getaway weeks is against the rules of RCI. Premier’s own website says all they do is list customer/victim timeshares for sale or rent and forward any offers. Nothing more. I still believe that it is all a sham anyway, with no offers, or fake offers, being sent to complaining timeshare owners.

Some company keeps calling me about my RCI and II membership, and the call is so vague that I do not understand how people fall for it. They say they are calling about my timeshare and my II membership, and I say, "What resort?" They just say, "I am calling about your timeshare." SCAMMERS are so stupid.

Several weeks ago, a scammer called me asking about my Marriott ownership and that I can rent out my unused getaway weeks. I said "Your mother would be so proud of you that you grew up to become a scammer." Click. My husband could not stop laughing.

I partially blame RCI. The have a consumer alert at their website which is ambiguous and only warns that RCI will not contact you.

RCI will NEVER contact you to buy, rent or sell your timeshare ownership, deposited RCI weeks, RCI Points or any type of “extra/bonus” weeks on your behalf. Additionally, RCI will never proactively contact you and ask for your RCI.com username or password.

What they should add to that warning is something like this:

“If you are contacted by anyone offering to rent multiple RCI Getaway weeks from you in exchange for an upfront fee, it is a SCAM. RCI does not permit renting of getaway weeks.”

Don’t disagree but what does this say exactly about the thousands of people who continually fall for the scam?
Yep, they are even more so.

Maybe they will add it, who knows?

I don't think it is reasonable to expect or require RCI to continually update its splash message on every new TS scam. It would be 500 pages long and people would complain about that, and still ignore it.

Which is against RCI's rules and can get your RCI account frozen.
The rest is more scammer speak.
Indeed. I find it surprising that shills and scammers like this one would ever choose TUG as a venue to attempt to peddle their nonsense, given that the TUG “audience” knows a lot more about timeshare industry practices and associated details than they ever will. Amusing, yes — but still surprising.

I love it when the shill comes in with his first post on TUG, which he just joined yesterday!

Hi all- just checking if anyone has heard of this/done this or its a scam. I received a call from "Premier Resort Services" asking if i would be willing to sell my 6 weeks of interval exchanges if I wasnt planning to use them. The pitch: I have to pay $399 for each week ($2394 total) and they sell those weeks to conferences. I asked what if they cant sell them and they said that doesnt happen because they only buy inventory they have demand for. They would sell for x amount and I would make a $8k profit. I just have to be available by phone to make the exchange. It sounds a bit too good to be true so I am curious if anyone else has any experience with this. They have a reputable looking site and an A rating on the BBB, but these days I just assume everything is a scam.

advice welcome

thanks
I just fell for this Scam, and I am so ashamed I wasted sooo much of my time, and did not do my homework. Luckily I have contacted my credit card, and ask to put a stop on this charge of $2394.00! Rep also stating she has been doing this type of business, selling unused RCI weeks from Timeshare owners (mine is Worldmark by Wyndham) and they will reimburse you $1800 per week if you pay the $399 x 6 per week up front. State that every owner has 6 weeks RCI available, and if not being used, they should sell these weeks through their company. Now, everything I read is that they are a total scam, and have only been in business since Feb 2024--right around 6 months! Save yourself a LOT of time and frustration! Do NOT fall for all the BS!

Report them to any and every state office you can, both in your state of residence and in the state they operate. Start with the State Attorney General, Dept. of Consumer Affairs, Real Estate and Insurance regulatory agencies.

What @dioxide45 said. Please also file a complaint with the BBB. This scammer does not yet have a BBB complaint. There is no doubt in my mind (and many others here) that it is a scam. Unfortunately, most people scammed just move on and don't file any complaints/reports. A lack of complaints will result in more victims believing the lies since the company looks good on paper (no BBB complaints, BBB accredited).

You can file an online complaint directly from the BBB profile page below.
