Re: RCI Class Action Lawsuit (by Mary D.):

I spent from about 11:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. last night trying to type a summary of the RCI litigation results. RCI does offer a few baubles just to get this over and done with but clearly does not feel the plaintiffs charges were justified. No clear proof of any guilt was presented. Said plaintiffs will probably never believe any proof of innocence. Basically, the judge told everybody to take their marbles, go home and stop bad mouthing each other. RCI promised to get resorts to do a better job of explaining how RCI works (stop promising miracles) and restated most of the rules and explanations of how RCI works which are already on their website for any who takes the time to read them. The whole Settlement Agreement runs 44 pages plus attachments. I never did figure out who pays the lawyers. It seems to be a case of "to each his own." A couple of lead plaintiffs got $375 or so for their time. In other words, this was a big waste all around. MD
