Re: TIMESHARE OWNERS GETTING HOSED ON EXCHANGES! (by KC):
sam57 stated in part about RCI: >> we still get excuses including you can not trade a winter for a summer or a mountain for the beach. << ====================================
Personally, I think it has become crystal clear in recent years that RCI's first priority is now renting out their best inventory --- not making it available to members for exchange. It's simply much more profitable for RCI to rent out the weeks instead. Phone reps may offer assorted unconvincing excuses why exchanges which were quite easily accomplished previously can't be accomplished at all now, but the phone reps may never actually even "see" the best deposits at all, since they are never placed into the "exchange pot" in the first place. There is a REASON why RCI now finds itself being the defendant in a lawsuit on this very issue......
