I’ve been updating myself with RCI. The exchange fee has certainly climbed and then the exchange plus category seems r high including points. Certainly, more like a travel agency, not an ownership club

I agree, don’t see much but the exchange plus offered.
 
40 TPUs expiring in June which were deposited into RCI as soon as eligible, so maybe 2022? Initially searched for France for August 2023 but gave up at the beginning of that year and instead requested Moab for spring of this year. Last month amended that search to driveable locations early May to mid-June.
It appears that that deposit will yield nothing that we want!
Thanks to TUG and purchase of a South African timeshare at the turn of the century we've had our RCI membership fee paid until 2026. That is the end of us and RCI!
 
I have 16 tpu expiring end of may.
That us nit enough to get a week somewhere

We own timeshares in CO that are only in RCI weeks. I deposit four summer weeks every year, unfortunately.

We have a Mansfield in Australia that is in RCI Points but is supposed to dissolve as a timeshare in the near future. Looking forward to that. It's still at 1 cent per point in MF's but it's tough to find anything in RCI that I want.

Also have a week still left (two EOY weeks that make up an annual week) at Grand Palms in Surfside Beach, SC. Been trying to sell that for a while. It's also in RCI Points and is a bit over 1 cent per point.

And we have Wyndham points, which have to be turned over to RCI when I cannot use them year after year.

I am stuck with RCI and the fees, and the worthless insurance option.

You can transfer tpu to other members... Just saying ;)

It must be done on the phone
Has to be the whole relation ID whatever is left of it
Platinum members don't get free transfer you always pay a transfer fee

I have seen many RCI exchanges in Texas for that amount. As low as 2 TPU'S last minute and RCI sales. Like wmgir said you can transfer them to another RCI member for a fee of $99.00 last we checked. Let us know if you go that route.
 
I am going to look around. It might be fun to take some bridge Ladies Somewhere in sw Florida

Bonnet Creek is a lovely resort! We enjoyed the lazy river. If the Duelling Pianos are still performing there, make sure you attend their performance. They were fabulous! Have a great time!
