You have tapped into people's No. 1 source of dissatisfaction with RCI.
But I wonder about this class action suit?

After spending way too much time mouse-clicking around on TUG-BBS, I have pretty much concluded that the savvy timeshare crowd snags the top exchange reservations as far ahead as possible -- 2+ years off optimally, because only 1 year into the future is too late.Generally, tho, you're too late - once you've passed the one year mark, pickins get slim.
OP, where are you looking for April, and are you confined to one week or any in April? Could be you're seeking a very popular spring destination and all the goodies are gone. Oh, I mean, the "deposited weeks for exchange", not the "surplus rental inventory." :annoyed:

That may be so, but why are they then showing up in Extra Vacations but not available for trade?
How do we get involved in this class actions lawsuit?

From everything that can be found out - which is not much - the thing is dead and all that is going to happen is some pay outs to a bunch of lawyers. It has no future and isn't going to change a thing (as was widely predicted way back in 2006 when it was filed). Most of it was gutted and whats left is virtually moot in any case. Nothing to "join".
From a review of the docket sheet, it appears that they are still finalizing the settlement agreement and notice to class members. In general, if you are part of a class as defined (which I didn't see on the docket), you don't need to do anything to be added to a case. You are added automatically. You normally would have the chance to opt out of the settlement and pursue your own case or to file objections to the settlement agreement.
There is another hearing set for October 1st, so we may know more at that time.
As usual, the individual members of the class probably won't get much.
I'm not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice (just my two cents!)
A Member relinquishes all rights to the use
of Vacation Time to the benefit of RCI when it is
Deposited.
Not true. If you read the agreement in its entirety (its available from the link at the bottom of RCI's homepage), it states that the weeks deposited become vacation time from which participants can request in exchange for their deposit. There are other provisions that also state that the vacation time deposited goes in the pool of weeks to be exchanged.
Reading the document as a whole, the system is as everyone thinks it is: weeks deposited are (should be) the weeks available for exchange based upon the relative strength of those weeks (which is a whole different issue).
When you deposit your week you certainly relinquish your right to the time. But no one can (reasonably) argue that under the Agreement , this that RCi can take in all exchange weeks, rent them out for cash in their pocket, then tell people from whom they took a fee and their weeks that there are simply no weeks to exchange into because we can "do what ever we want" with the deposited weeks.
The Forrest Gump Timeshare Exchange Company.There is NEVER a time where you can 't get a week for your week - the problem is many don't think its an EQUAL (or better) week which is what they want. The court isn't about to decide if a January beach week is or isn't equal to a week in Bermuda. If RCI shows a week in PA or VA in exchange the requirement is met. No fraud or mis-appropriation. There are NO guarantees of value anywhere in that document.
Couldn't agree with you more. So long as all the deposited weeks are in the pool, the weighting is so subjective that it would be next to impossible for a court/jury to decide...The court isn't about to decide if a January beach week is or isn't equal to a week in Bermuda. If RCI shows a week in PA or VA in exchange the requirement is met. No fraud or mis-appropriation. There are NO guarantees of value anywhere in that document.
