[Q=arlynn1] I cant believe they are still pulling that s--- considering they are in the middle of settling a class action suit for just the same reason. [/Q] I'm no fan of RCI (...that's putting it mildly), but RCI does what they do because they CAN --- lawfully. People who choose to deposit with RCI relinquish any and all control over their deposit --- with absolutely no guarantee of any kind that they will EVER be offered anything of comparable value in return. It's a roll of the dice, with a mandatory $189 being paid to RCI for each individual roll of those dice. Plain and simple. As far as Murillo vs. RCI goes (the class action law suit to which you made reference), RCI is no longer "in the middle" of that. The case is OVER (as of a few weeks ago) with a pretty clear victory for RCI. RCI will make some very minor, petty, insignificant "changes" to their practices regarding handling of deposits (...for ONLY 36 months, by the way) after which time it will be "right straight back to business as usual" for RCI. In my opinion, people need to face reality (even if belatedly) and start wrapping their heads around the fact that RCI, by it its' very own words and its' very own self-description in relatively recent press releases, is very clearly now a "rental and exchange company". It is NOT just a mere coincidence that RCI lists the word "rental" FIRST!! P.S. Interval International is not lily white either, but II at least has a "search BEFORE deposit" option, unlike the "deposit, pay --- then hope and pray" mandatory RCI procedure, with NO other choice or option.
