Disney and other non-topic digressions... (by Janet R.):

I just want to share my opinion and experience with RCI. Quite frankly, I don't care who benefits from the lawsuit as long as people are aware that there is some shady dealing with this whole timeshare thing. I bought a timeshare in Las Vegas since that is one of my favorite vacation spots. I had bought a double unit so I could use one week a year in one suite or both units for a week. I was told by my resort that I HAD to deal with RCI to use my assigned week(s) and my weeks must be banked with them. So I did that as I wanted to use both units at one time. When I went to "book" my assigned week for both units, I was told by RCI I had to pay $164 per unit to use each one. If I am paying $3900 a year in timeshare payments and a yearly membership fee to RCI, I could NOT see why I had to pay an additional $328 to actually use what I was supposedly buying. I think Grandview must have a deal with RCI since they told me I could only go through RCI who wanted to charge all this additional money for something I was buying. In the pep talk to buy, there was no mention of fees to actually use the week you were buying. I've been to Vegas enough that I get all kinds of deals at the major hotels. I've stayed at the Luxor for a week for less money than what RCI wanted just in the fees mentioned above. What's the point then? I dumped my timeshare and RCI!! And I save money in the long run by just going to Vegas when I want at good discounts.
