Re: RCI weeks member with points questions (by Tina K.):

This is most likely NOT RCI calling. There's a HUGE scam going on around the country. My elderly parents fell for it. The "salesmen" imply that they are from RCI trying to convince timeshare owners to convert from weeks to points, but they aren't really from RCI. RCI currently is suing them for trademark infringement for making their caller ID show RCI, etc. The scammers told my parents they had to purchase a timeshare condo at Sunset Harbor Resorts in Willis, TX which was a points unit in order to be able to convert their current week to points, which is a LIE. So many more lies to convince my parents that they could do this for $1080, then get credit card statements that the scammers charged $9500 on their card. Search Redweek's discussion forum for Point Rental Liquidators to read 78 pages of comments. Call RCI and ask them!!!!! Don't become another victim!

This is such a good forum. The topic solves most of my questions. We own a fixed week in VV of Weston as well. (bought in year 2004 in a very good deal while the resort was under pre-construction). Over the years, RCI kept asking if we want to change to points. (We recently got an email again, about two months ago, hinted us to "call asap to learn important changes". I doubted it was point issue and didn't even bother to call.) My husband and I both felt there is no reason to pay that amount of $$ to "upgrade". I am so glad to read this topic and know there are people think the same as us.
