Ask the Timeshare Crusader
Our "Ask the Timeshare Crusader" series continues this month with the following question from Nancy:
We own three RCI points timeshares, which we purchased on the secondary market. At a recent "owner presentation" at one of them, our sales rep reviewed our properties and told us that two of them would eventually be "caught" by RCI and reverted to weeks. He said that points do not transfer to non-relatives through a resale, and that RCI would contact us and expect us to pay a sizable fee to continue on the points system. Is this true?
This question made me angry and sad. Angry and sad that this timeshare salesperson is allowed to say such things apparently without fear of retribution… Read Lisa's full answer »

Featured Resort
Edgewater Beach Resort
Dennis Port, MA
Tranquility is the word at Edgewater, where the only thing rushing is the tide. Just steps from your front door, a path through sea grass leads you to the fine sands of their private beach. Enjoy a day of fun and sun, or watch the sparkling waters as the sun sets at the end of the day.
If sand between your toes doesn't suit you, the magnificent indoor/outdoor pool offers a wonderful alternative, complete with a whirlpool and sauna to remove the stress that made you choose Edgewater in the first place!
Each tastefully decorated unit features a private patio/balcony and all the comforts of home. Practice your swing on the putting green, or work off last night's fabulous lobster dinner in the fitness room. You will love the peace and charm of Cape Cod's Edgewater resort.
Rental Opportunities: Starting at $128/night
Resale Opportunities:
Starting at $700
Member Review:
"We have been staying at the Edgewater Beach Resort for years. We love the location and the private beach. The staff has been great, and there is always plenty of activities for the kids. When the kids get tired of the ocean and sand, they love to play in the pool. There are lots of great restaurants in the area, and it's so nice to have the kitchen and eating area, and we usually eat in (or out on the patio) for breakfast and lunch. We look forward to our week at the Edgwater all year long!"
