Adding properties to II account

Can anybody tell me if this information is correct or is II trying to scam me.

When I purchased Westgate, it included a 1 year membership to II at no cost to me. This ownership was between me and my brother-in-law so both of our names are on the deed. When it expired I did not renew immediately, but did renew and gave them this year’s week. I did this with the intention of depositing my CMV units here and I have already made an exchange.

I now want to add my new CMV ownership which has ONLY my name to my II membership. Customer service is telling me that they can add it, but when they send for verification on future deposits to Blue Green, because my BIL’s name is on my II membership and not on the Blue Green Deed the deposit will be declined. She also said that I could not remove his name from the II membership, as if I did that and tried to deposit the Westgate week they would decline because his name was not on my II membership.

They tell me that my II membership has to match my deed, in essence telling me that I have to get a second membership which is in ONLY my name in order to make deposits. This makes entirely no sense to me. If the ownership is in my name, despite what name is on my II membership what difference does it make what names are on an entirely different property?

I don’t believe SFX, Platinum or DAE do this? Heck, my BIL did not even know that I had given the 2012 week to DAE as they did not ask his permission to do so even though his name was on it.

If this information is correct, my Westgate week will no longer go to them as I will take his name of my II membership. They are not going to get two membership fees from me, regardless of how many or how good of properties they get.

That is correct.

All TS properties have to be deeded exactly the same to go into the accounts of II and RCI. Stinks I know, but these are the rules.
The independents coud possibly have the same rule but I have not heard anyone being denied a deposit.
On the other hand, SFX makes you print out a consent of despot form and sign it before they accept your deposit. So they have written proof YOU authorized the deposit even if your brother did not.

Each company has different rules.

Thanks for the quick response. Now I feel a little bad for lashing out at the rep I spoke with!

I suppose then, the only thing for me to do is remove my Westgate ownership from this II account, and remove by BIL from the II membership (just hope I don't need his approval to do that!)

Then I will add the CMV unit so that it matches my deeded ownership name and the name on my II account. That should work shouldn't it? I don't intend to give my westgate week to them again in the future any way, now that I have CMV. This way I can also add my "floating" Bluegreen so that if necessary I can deposit triangulated points weeks.

If you do not have anything on deposit, you might want to cancel that II membership and get a pro-rated refund.
Then rejoin II with your CMV and BG ownership - you will not have to pay anything to add these ownerships and u start with a clean slate...no confusion as u will just have the two ownerships that are deeded the same.

This may be a rule for RCI, but they don't enforce it. I have resorts deeded three different ways in my account and have never had a problem. My name only, my name + my husband's name, my name + my husband's + my daughter's. II apparently does enforce it.

I need to change my RCI membership to my name and my daughter's instead of mine and my husbands, but that might bring the discrepency to light. Don't know if I want to open that door. I had to pay for a guest certificate for her last year.
