RCI or Interval International for Exchanges?

I own with Wyndham and I am affiliated with RCI but I hate with RCI you can NEVER get into where you want. I am wondering if it's even possible to change my affiliation to Interval International. There is the option on my page when I login Wyndham put it then I get an error message saying go to RCI. Well, I am kind of fed up with RCI. I don't want to do an exchange anytime soon, but what are your experience with Interval International? Is it easier to go where you want? I requested this time last year for Ft. Meyers with RCI and it was no go and never got a hit with an ongoing search . So the next time I need to call Wyndham I am going to see if this is even possible to change my exchange company.

Hard to say any more. We done 116 RCI exchanges, but search my posts and you'll see how I now feel pretty quickly.

If you read my SW FL in January thread, you'll see I have been searching it almost every day since 1997, and that it began disappearing in 2004 or so, when rentals were getting ramped up, and today you very seldom see any.

But, no one else has it either.

In the 6 or 7 years I have posted to that thread, I have asked anyone to offer any suggestions as to where the stuff is, or why it's not there now, and no one has come up with anything other than speculation. I even had an inside contact who never came up with anything other than "that's just a tough exchange." Well, it was not always, so I know that is a BS cop-out.

Hi guy! How ya doing?

Yeah, I'm talking about you.

I have contacted SW FL RCI resort managers, and HGVC, and have never been able to get figures concerning what's getting deposited with RCI. I get stonewalled. It's just one big hush-hush blank. Getting real information has always been that way.

Having said all that, without knowing what else you want to trade for, or what you know about what you have to do to get stuff through RCI, or how hard you're willing to work for exchanges, it's hard to say.

Not many are willing to search every day, every year, for 14 years, just to catch the mistakes.

We gave up on II probably 10 years ago, maybe more, when our exchange ratio was something like 60 RCI: 5 II.

Drop me a PM if you want my candid, frank, personal assistance.

No II for you , sorry.

There were a couple or II Wyndham resorts until about a year ago, then Wyndham eliminated the use of II for all.
So, you have only one major option, or you can deposit good weeks with one of the independent exchange companies like SFX, TPI PI DAE HTSE.
