I vote to close this thread & watch where Slim surfaces again. Slim isn't providing facts we can help him with; only senseless, repeated copy & paste. No value to him or us.

Yeah ... this thread is like a spectacular car wreck. As much as I know I should just continue on my way, I can't keep myself from checking out the carnage and mayhem.

I agree it should be closed, but just can't keep looking.

It is obvious that the rants and raves and rambles will continue until HWSRN (cuz I'm tired of seeing and saying his name) gets the answer he wants, which will never happen.

So, I agree, there is no point in continuing this thread, unless you are a fan of the movie Groundhog Day, and enjoy seeing/reading the same thing over and over.

That has previously been discussed here. If you had bothered to read any of the other threads already created on the RCI class action settlement you would have your answer.

Since you are obviously too self-absorbed to spend any time reading what has already been posted here on this topic, I don't see any reason why any of us should spend our time digging out and reposting information that you could easily find for yourself.

Those complaints are against timeshare developers, not RCI.
It's not up to RCI to live up to the developer's sales weasels lies.

True, but for many years RCI has been happy to do nothing to inform potential members of just how inaccurate the information about exchange opportunities, provided by the developers, really is.

Maybe inactions speak louder than words on occasion.

Also, RCI's current policies are not consistent with some of the sales videos that RCI has itself provided to developers in the past. So RCI is not blameless in those lies by any means.

If you want to go back a few years, I still remember the Basil Jones Resort- where RCI listed the resort as gold crown- but it was a total scam and never opened-with the con artist developer running off with the funds. I remember talking to RCI about it before the demise and they were clueless and unconcerned. Then there was the Gonzcy scam where the appraisal fee companies had names like RCI and Interval and neither exchange company seemed to care much when I contacted them.

It kinda makes one think that the only thing really surprising in timesharing is running into an honest company.

Yes, that is so true, but use either RCI or Interval logo when selling a deeded week on eBay or Craig's list and they would be on you like white on rice. It does make one wonder IF they were in cahoots with these companies.

I don't believe there would be disagreement from anyone here that for those things RCI is not responsible for, they are an enabler, being aware of and supporting them. In those things resorts do contrary to the interests of owners/members, RCI supports the affiliates.

RCI and the affiliates have always engaged in mutual buck-passing. Our most serious incident involved exactly that, RCI saying it was a resort rule and the resident manager of the resort telling me it would not have been an issue had their RCI rep not gone out of his way to bring it to their attention.

It was a rule that was not in place for the previous five or six years, was for a year, and then was gone.

That was ten years ago, when we learned Confirmation does not mean:

2. to acknowledge with definite assurance: Did the hotel confirm our room reservation?

The members of RCI are the resorts, the affiliates, those affiliated with RCI.

We, the owners of the vacation intervals, are subscribers. Our role is to make their system work for them.

As for me, I am passed focusing on RCI since it is just one player in an industry plagued with integrity problems, from the OPC kiosk on.

How can a weasel go to work every day, trying to sell stuff to folks for $15K-$20K that can't even get a buck on eBay and that current owners are paying $3500 to get rid of? Until and unless the entire industry wakes up, why pick on just one player?

But, as I said not long ago, with the proliferation of information on the Internet, I am feeling less and less empathetic with those who do not seek it beforehand.

Very well put Jim. After pages and pages of waffle in this topic I think you have summed the situation up very accurately in just 4 paragraphs.

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

There is a simple answer, Jim. It is by far the biggest player and therefore can do the most damage.

and, are, thus, taking the most criticism.
