Report Abuse

These actions by RCI definitely do harm owners who are trying to rent a timeshare that they own. Last summer I answered an enquiry from someone who wanted to rent the 2 weeks I had advertised on another timeshare rental site. By the time I got back to her (2 or 3 days, I was out of town w/out email access) she had already rented these weeks from RCI. She was renting almost a year in advance - and had already paid the full amount, as required. So she couldn't get out, even though I wanted less money, and only requested a partial down payment. I have banked weeks with RCI, and am quite upset to discover that they may be using those weeks to compete against me for rentals. I need the money - and I think that this is very unfair - both to those who deposit their week(s) in good faith, and those owners who attempt to rent weeks that they own.
