My friend joined RCI

What is remarkable about this, she does not own any timeshares. She was given a bonus certificate for two weeks a year for 3 years at the exchange rate. She called RCI and was given three years for the price of two. She has booked two Orlando weeks in December for a cost of $149 each. She probably pulled better resorts than I did with my $500 maintenance fee. Since I have some of those certifcates too, I could sell all my weeks and save a lot of money.

wow............Can anyone join RCI just by calling, and requesting a membership?

They have one resort that I would be interested in..........Gurney's in Montauk.

I would join if I could, just for that resort.................

RCI seems to have flipped AmEx's slogan.

With RCI, ''non-membership has its priveleges!''

not only that, but they gave her three years for the price of two. when I asked for that, they said it didn't exist.

How did she do that? By just calling RCI?

Angela,

It would be unlikely that you'd get anything other than shoulder or 'off' season... There have been a few Memorial Day and Columbus Day weeks around, but I haven't seen more than that and winter weeks... RCI would not let those go as 'bonus weeks...' but I will keep an eye out for you

If you do not mind mid week you can have one of my leftover holiday weeks next year. I have Memorial day and Columbus day.
BTW Pat gets her choice as I had promised it to her this year and did not know I booked the wrong week.

RCI will take anybody's money......we haven't learned that by now?

[ArtsieAng Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close ArtsieAng]

Avery,

Thanks...........I would greatly appreciate you keeping an eye out for any possibility of me getting some (relatively decent) time there..........

Frank,

I am at Fairway Villas in NJ, Memorial Day 2007, although I am not sure that we will be staying the week....Not sure of my DH's vacation time.

However, I don't have any plans for Oct., so if you or Pat are not going to use the weekdays, that might work out. And, of course, I will gladly pay you whatever cost is involved.............Thanks............

If Pat does not want that Oct week then it is your's free of charge.

Wait just let me check something, Avery did I promise you the week. I forget.

Frank, I am good for next year - I have Gurneys the weekend AFTER Columbus Day myself
(as Columbus Day is the annual FFFFF - Fallon Family Fall Festival of FUN weeknd)

Sorry Angela now I don't recall who or if I promised the Memorial day to. If I did not promise it to Avery or Lawren then you might be able to use a few days since it is close to you. That is if you are not staying all week in NJ.

Since I have some of those certifcates too ...

Where does one get these wonderful certificates?

I got to go this year when I picked up a last minute EV. Plus Dani gave me a night a few weeks later. So please give it to Angela or Lawren. If neither of them can use it, let me know

Angela I think you can have the Memorial day week. I do not think I mentioned it to Lawren but let me make sure first. If no one wants it Avery it is yours again.
