Trying to exchange a timeshare.
Complaint
Janet
Country: United States
I have owned timeshare for over 30 years in a 5 star resort. I tried to make an exchange to find that since RCI had gone to the 'point' system, I don't have enough points to make the exchange. I was told that I had to pay my maintenance fees 2 years in advance. So, I did that (not smart).
When I called RCI back, I found out that I still don't have enough 'points' and that I would have to give them two of my weeks for one week at the resort that I'm trying to exchange into. However, they did say that they could get me a week 'in the area' at a very good price!! Wait a minute, if I am already paying a ridiculous price for maintenance fees in addtion to an exchange fee what would make them think I wanted to pay even more to rent a place. Timeshare used to be a great thing for the working class until the big hotels and big business bought them up. IF YOU'RE THINKING OF DOING IT, DON'T!!! YOU CAN SAVE YOUR MONEY UNDER THE MATTRESS (NOT IN THE BANKS) and take a good vacation.
