My question to Debi was here statement didn't make since to me. She belong to both RCI and II for eight years with only one unit. First this would be a big waste of money and second you can only trade one year so you would need to pick which II or RCI. This is like driving Cad or going with VW BUS. That means she must have spent over $1000 just to belong with RCI when she was already paying to be with II.

I got involved in timeshare when it was very new in my region. At the time, both RCI and II were giving fantastic deals to join (I paid about $400 to each of them for 7 years' membership. That works out at less than $60 per year for each one). II was always my first choice, because of their exchange options. The main reason I joined RCI was for exchanges and bonus weeks at the 2000+ resorts that they own that II do not. My resort also gave me a 20% discount on the restaurant, as an RCI member. In the end, though, since the exchances and bonus weeks are both more expensive in RCI, it was always easier to get exchanges with II, and we ended up banking weeks and using 2 at a time, rather than buying bonus weeks, keeping RCI just wasn't worth it.
