Re: timeshare company charge to join RCI (by Donald W.):

My timeshare company went bankrupt and was taken over by property manager Kainoa. They charge $7000, for the right to join RCI. RCI has is yearly fee, $179. I do not think RCI gets any other fee but the $179. Is this a fair and normal way of doing business, in order to get my Maui Banyan week into the RCI system. Do other companies charge. We never paid to join Interval fifteen years ago. This time our first year was paid by Consolidated (bankrupt). When we first bought out timeshare. In June we forked out $7000 grand. And for this you get the right to spent more money. Did I pay to much? Wood like to hear any comments from someone who has been down this road. Thank you...
