Need some advice:

Trying to unload Week 52, 2008 (late, I know), so is my best bet with RCI or II?
What happens if I bank with them, but they don't find someone to use? Do I still get a trade option to use in over course of 2009? Or is it a lost week?

I have traded on my own with fellow resort owners (renting unit or trading weeks), renting over ebay and other random ways. I am at the point, where I just might "let it go" pay the MF this year and not use it. A totally sunk cost. However, I was recently revitalized with the idea of the timeshare with the thought of finally trading for another resort. Brillant, huh? This just might give this an whole new life -- new places and new dates!

Bottom line - looking for advice on best move for this late in the game and also a better understanding on what happens if RCI/II are unable to unload my week.

Anyone have bottom line for chosing between RCI and II? Read a lot on this site about them, but keep getting swayed towards one and then the other.

Depends on which exchange company your resort is affiliated with. You have to use the affiliated company, or an independent TS Exchange Co.

It doesn't matter what happens to the week you deposit - you still get to use it for an exchange.

Tell us what resort it is and we can probably tell you more.
